Audia Flight FLS4 Power Stereo Amplifier

Italy flag

The FLS4 pairs iron-fisted bass control with startling dynamics, delivering tonal accuracy, textured vocal presence and a remarkably silent backdrop for low-level detail. Edgar Kramer found its wide, stable staging and subtly sweet treble make this 200W powerhouse as refined as it is commanding, wrapped in exceptional machined-aluminium craftsmanship.

Pros

Powerful, tightly controlled bass with deep impact, detail and explosive transient response.

Accurate, full-bodied tonal presentation with sweet, non-brittle treble and lifelike vocal presence.

Exceptionally quiet circuit preserves fine detail and supports wide, stable imaging with convincing depth.

Beautifully machined, substantial aluminium construction and flexible balanced/unbalanced connectivity.

Cons

Its speaker binding posts are good quality but a step below the premium Furutech terminals used on the flagship Strumento model.

The 7.5kΩ input impedance may require care when pairing with valve preamplifiers that have high output impedance.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"This is a very refined solid stater with fluid and textured chops."

— SoundStage Solo — Edgar Kramer

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 95/100

The FLS4 is portrayed as a highly resolving and tonally assured amplifier with exceptional bass control, unrestricted dynamic expression and a stable, generously scaled presentation. Its character combines powerful solid-state authority with a subtle sweetness that keeps voices and treble natural rather than clinical.

Transparency Resolution

96/100

The review describes the circuit as extremely quiet, with “inky black” backgrounds that do not obscure fine low-level nuance or detail. This clean backdrop appears to support a particularly open, unmasked view into recordings.

Tonal Balance Musicality

95/100

Accurate tonal rendition is identified as one of the amplifier’s central strengths. Vocals have convincing body without excess weight, while the presentation retains a subtle sweetness that avoids brittleness and gives performers lifelike presence.

Dynamics

96/100

The FLS4 is repeatedly praised for tight control, powerful punch and sometimes startling dynamic contrasts. Bass transients are described as deep, concussive and detailed, while demanding music remains uninhibited and forceful.

Soundstage Imaging

93/100

The reviewer heard a singer locked solidly at centre stage, within a very wide and high soundstage that also conveyed good depth. This points to convincing image stability and scale, although spatial performance receives less extended discussion than its tonal and dynamic strengths.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

96/100

The 35kg FLS4 uses a massively solid machined-aluminium chassis, substantial heatsinks and carefully finished metalwork that the reviewer calls Swiss-precision in execution. Balanced and single-ended inputs, XLR pass-throughs, trigger connections and dual speaker terminals add useful system flexibility, while its 200/380/700W output ratings indicate serious current capability.

Value for Money

94/100

At an asking price of roughly $8,292 to $11,999, the FLS4 remains a costly amplifier, but the reviewer explicitly says it surpasses expectations at its price point. That assessment is supported by performance described as unusually accomplished in tonal accuracy, low-level resolution and power delivery.

Manufacturer's Description — Audia Flight

FLS4 Stereo Power Amplifier


The Audia Flight FLS4 Stereo Power Amplifier is an incredible stereo power amplifier with high response speed (bandwidth more than 0,7MHz), 
high power (up to 700 Watts), and nearly unlimited speaker driving/control capability. Like the Strumento Series we’ve used our trained human ears 
to aide us in the FLS 4’s design process. This effort has allowed us to produce an amplifier that more closely achieves our goal of sonic perfection, 
much like a luthier uses years of experience, craftsmanship, and keen ear to find the perfect tonal character and emotional response for their instruments.


Like its Strumento brethren the FLS4’s chassis begins its life as an ultra high grade, bespoke aluminum cast. 
After the CNC finishing work is completed, every part is then closely inspected and “mirror polished” by hand. 
Some critical areas are further finished by hand, with shot peening and anodization completing the beautiful metal work. 
The final touch is an elegant silk-screening process.


Similarities to the Strumento Series amplifiers can be found within the FLS4 as well. A long list would include a fully balanced circuitry, 
highly selected components, 32 high grade power devices, and power supply built with low impedance capacitors (288.000µF alone on the main power suppliers).
The FLS4’s gain stage is once again the exclusive Audia Flight design consisting of an entirely class A current-feedback circuitry. 
And to further isolate this critical part of the amplification process from interference and grant thermal stabilization for all of its discrete components, the gain stage is enclosed within an aluminum box and encapsulated in an epoxy resin. Add to this that the main power supply is made by n.16 18.000µF 50V low impedance capacitors and is then composed of two super high current power supplies per channel, as well as four stabilized independent stages per each channel: two for the input stages and two for the Audia Flight current feedback stage! And, of course, as is our philosophy, one 15VA toroidal transformer is used for the logic control and protection circuit in order to completely isolate it from the audio circuit. With a total then of 12 power supplies, custom printed circuit boards with an extra high-grade surface copper, a 2000VA toroidal audio transformer enclosed within two ferromagnetic shields and encapsulated by epoxy resin powering the output stage, no fuses in the main power supply for the output stage (we find fuses are like a “resistors” and can negatively impact the sound) as a current sensor read by microprocessor is employed, 
and 200 Watts RMS @ 8 Ohms output power one can see numerous “Strumento-esque” elements have gone into making the FLS 4 Stereo Power Amplifier capable of 
providing the listener with the best performance and emotional musical experience.


So one can see in the FLS4 Stereo Power Amplifier the Audia Flight familial resemblance is hard at work. Much like our reference 
Strumento N°4 mk2 Stereo Power Amplifier, the FLS4 Stereo Power Amplifier is designed to bring your music to life and your audio system to 
another level of perfection.
