Description from the seller
Setton AS-3300 stereophonic amplifier
Very rare Setton amplifier from the golden hi-fi era (1977)
The Setton AS-3300 is a legendary and rare vintage integrated stereo amplifier, produced between 1977 and 1981. The brand was founded by the Frenchman Jacky Setton. The unique and iconic appearance — recognizable by the distinctive oval elements on the front panel — was designed by Alain Carré, the chief designer of the famous fashion house Pierre Cardin. Although it was a French concept, the high-quality production took place in Japan. Among collectors, the amplifier is also known as a "Holy Grail" due to its excellent build and sound quality that at the time competed with top models from Marantz and Pioneer.
The AS-3300 delivers with its 2 x 55 watts of continuous power a tight, warm, and punchy sound. So characteristic for amplifiers from this period.
The beautiful brushed aluminium front and aluminium knobs, combined with the cool VU meters and rack handles, give this unit a wonderful vintage look.
Equipped with many input options, including 3 (!) sets of speakers, tape monitor, tuner, aux, and 2x a phono input for connecting a turntable.
The amplifier has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out and extensively tested.
In very good condition, with small signs of use here and there.
Everything functions as it should, without crackling knobs or pots.
Please view the detailed photos, they are part of the item description.
The amplifier will be carefully packed and shipped insured with track & trace.
The stated shipping costs are for mainland Europe. For overseas territories and islands (Canary Islands, Azores, Madeira) shipping costs on request. We always seek the most affordable and reliable way to ship the equipment.
Pickup is also possible by appointment, and within a reasonable time after purchase.
