Lavardin CX42 Reference Line Preamplifier and AP 150 Stereo Power Amplifier Combo
Cx42/C62 Preamplifier
The full benefit from low memory technology can only be attained when a low memory power amp in our range is used.
Our preamps can also be fantastic partners for traditional power amps as replacements of traditional and generally poor sounding original preamps.
The Model C62 is a full width design with the unrivalled Lavardin Technologies build quality and design philosophy, with low memory distortion circuits and components. The dynamics of the Model C62 will certainly bring you closer to the music giving a purity and clarity that no other preamplifier could achieve.
The Model C62 is a minimalist design utilising our highly accurate, high performance Memory free Design.
It is operated manually and has an unbalanced line level source selection for up to six unbalanced input sources.
AP150 Power Amplifier
The Model AP150 is the direct no preamplifier version of the Model IT integrated.
It is a full width design with unrivalled Lavardin Technologies build quality and design philosophy, with its low memory distortion components.
The Model AP150 delivers 50 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms and a total of more than 150 Watts at 2 Ohms. The full benefit of low memory distortion technology can only be appreciated when a low memory preamp such as the Model C62 is used to partner the Model AP150.
The Model AP150 is JMLab's choice for the world presentation of the UTOPIA range of loudspeakers.

WHAT HIFI - GB - MODEL C62/AP150
- "If sound quality and musical enjoyment are your priorities, you'll find this Lavardin pairing hard to beat at this price. Dismiss them at your peril"
- " Their ability to convey the nuance of a voice is spellbinding, yet in the next moment they can deliver explosive transients without restraint".
- "The ability to combine the subtle with the sledgehammer is something few rivals can do. Even rarer, is the ability to time properly. Only a handful of the products we hear each year have a proper mastery of this aspect of sound".
