Pre / Power Amplifiers

The amplifier is the heart and soul of your hifi system and is the component responsible for taking a source signal and presenting it to your loudspeakers. Amplifiers typically come in three formats; a power amplifier, a pre-amplifier and an integrated amplifier. The power amplifier, as the name suggests, is the muscle responsible for powering your dedicated loudspeakers, while the pre-amplifier is the brain of the system, featuring inputs for your source components to pass this information, along with volume control, to the power amplifier.
