We have a power-packed issue this month, with a round-up of our favourite stereo amplifiers below £700 – perfect for that system upgrade you had always promised yourself. There is also a plea to the industry from our technical editor to bring back the entry-level amplifier; it’s a breed that seems to have pretty much disappeared in the past couple of decades.
We juxtapose the step-up two-channel amps with some absolute powerhouse (and extremely premium) home cinema amplifiers to show you just what might be possible with a high-end cinema set-up in your own home. An audition with these behemoths is a real experience – and there are two products brand new to our test rooms to showcase.
