AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
SAE A202 – High-End Vintage Power Amplifier (100W + Reference Sound)
SAE A202 power amplifier, a classic American from the 1980s, known for its robust construction and sound quality far above the average of its era.
Delivering 100W per channel at 8Ω, with an extremely linear response (20Hz–20kHz), low distortion (0.025%), and a high damping factor, which results in very firm speaker control, especially in the bass.
Typical SAE sound: open, fast, with excellent separation and a strong sense of dynamics. It is not a “colored” amplifier — it is more direct, transparent and with control.
Solid build in a heavy, low-profile, well-shielded format, typical of professional equipment adapted to domestic Hi‑Fi.
Ideal for those who want to make a serious leap in amplification quality within the vintage world.
Main features:
• 100W per channel (8Ω)
• THD: 0.025%
• SNR: 110dB
• Damping factor: 83
• Two independent channels of amplification
• Heavy, high-quality construction
Condition: good overall condition, fully functional
Possibility of demonstration / well-protected shipment or local pickup
