SKU: Pearl-170-Black Category:
Unfortunately we are experiencing long production lead times due to moving our manufacturing base to Belgium. Please contact us for more information.

Our 170 stereo power amplifier has been designed to deliver a refined, organic and natural soundstage, without being over analytical. With the 170 we wanted realism, with a sense of ‘being there’, not just for powering our Sibelius loudspeakers but for all makes and models.

The Pearl Acoustics 170 single ended power amplifier, is a totally new ground-up bespoke design, the result of working together with some of the best minds in the business. The amplifier features an extremely short signal path, bespoke, custom designed output transformers and power supply circuitry. Our design concept has been focused on sustainability by incorporating product longevity into every aspect of its design, without limiting its clean, engaging and holographic sound performance. Musical finesse with very fine details and superb dynamics have been combined into a piece of equipment that is designed to last ‘forever’.

The news is out…. we have been working on the development of a single ended, Class A Tube power amplifier. It is currently in its ‘testing and tweaking’ phase. This can still go on for a little while because we want it to be absolutely perfect when we launch! However, our current target is to be ready in early 2024.

If you’re interested in the development of our amplifier, or if you would like a first chance to possibly acquire one, then feel free to fill out the form on the right. We will keep you updated with all news regarding our amplifier (even a sneak preview)! Additionally you can follow us on social media for an extra source of Pearl Acoustics news.
