Our thoughts

One chassis that takes a moving magnet turntable directly and drives 40 watts into 4 ohm loudspeakers, built for vinyl-led listeners who want a compact core without a separate preamp.

The toroidal transformer and high current supply are designed to keep bass control steady at higher listening levels. The phono input is moving magnet only, with 2.5 mV sensitivity, so it suits turntables fitted with that cartridge type. The IR remote runs volume, source selection and Rotel CD transport from your seat. Five-way binding posts keep speaker terminations flexible.

It suits compact systems where a turntable and line-level sources share one chassis, and listeners whose loudspeakers present a 4 ohm load. Our team can talk through the speaker load, the cartridge match and how it sits alongside your existing sources, by phone or in the showroom.
