THE TOUR DE FORCE

The Model ISx is a full width design with unrivaled Lavardin Technology, build quality and design philosophy, in particular the circuits and components which virtually eliminate the effects of memory distortion.

The new X circuits brings a major improvement on transparency and micro dynamics over its predecessor the Model IS.

The Model ISx will definitely bring you closer to the music and give you a purity and clarity that no other amplifier,even those far outside its price range, can achieve.

Its extreme transparency, over the full bandwidth is in contrast with midband focused transparency of the best tube amplifiers.Its micro dynamics, never aggressive, clumsy or confused is in contrast with almost all transistor and digital amplifiers.

By design, Lavardin Technologies amplifiers are the less load sensitive amplifiers ever made.Consequently, virtually all speakers will be driven at their best what ever their size and technology.This fantastic power handling allows to measure over 104W per channel on 2 ohm loads out of the Model ISx and 50w on 8ohm.

During shows we have experienced gourgeous musical results with speakers such as Avalon, Sonus Faber Guarnery hommage, Quad electrostatics, Rogers LS3/5A, Living Voice, Harbeth, Focal Utopia, Lecontoure Airline and many others...
