THE TOUR DE FORCE

The Model ISx is a full-width design with unrivalled Lavardin Technology, build quality and design philosophy, in particular, the circuits and components which virtually eliminate the effects of memory distortion.
The new X circuits bring a major improvement on transparency and microdynamics over its predecessor the Model IS.
The Model ISx will definitely bring you closer to the music and give you the purity and clarity that no other amplifier, even those far outside its price range, can achieve.
Its extreme transparency, over the full bandwidth, is in contrast with midband focused transparency of the best tube amplifiers. Its micro dynamics, never aggressive, clumsy or confused is in contrast with almost all transistor and digital amplifiers.

By design, Lavardin Technologies amplifiers are the less load sensitive amplifiers ever made. Consequently, virtually all speakers will be driven at their best whatever their size and technology. This fantastic power handling allows measuring over 104W per channel on 2-ohm loads out of the Model ISx and 50w on 8ohm.

During shows, we have experienced gorgeous musical results with speakers such as Avalon, Sonus Faber Guarneri hommage, Quad electrostatics, Rogers LS3/5A, Living Voice, Harbeth, Focal Utopia, Lecontoure Airline and many others…OPTIONAL FEATURES

• “..and IS Reference integrated amps are popular choices among those who listen judiciously. The preamps and power amps are excellent too, but it’s the integrated amps that justly get a lot of the credit. So, when the opportunity arose to test the latest Model ISx integrated from the brand, we jumped at the chance..”
