2 channel amplifier for home

Ask for an enthusiastic music fan to tell about the Sinfoni Company and you will hear an exciting story decorated with exciting discoveries. You surely know that the brand was born at home of uncompromising supercars and great tenors, that the products popular among audiophiles was not made, but created by a hand of talented masters with the idea of audio purism. Finally, you will be told that even the manufacturers of elite acoustics that know the price of qualitative sound, publicly call the Sinfoni amplifiers as the standard. A chapter on the flagman Desiderio amplifier will put a full stop in this story. Its premiere took place last summer, but even after some months our impressions from this representative of thoroughbred High-End automobile didn’t pale!

Nothing was heard from it since then. It seemed that the company took a deserved time out by suspending the production of its masterpieces. This misconception was refuted by the Car Sound 2007 Show, where the inexhaustible talent of Italian artists emerged with new force. The audiophiles were offered two stunning new items: a prototype of an elite component acoustics (!) and the latest Prestigio dual-link that received the status of the younger brother of the luxurious flagman. The two components were greeted with standing ovations, but for many people Sinfoni Prestigio became a major exhibition opening. Of course, Desiderio is great, but it is the lot of few, and Prestigio is more lenient to the thickness of the purse.

Outside Prestigio looks like Desiderio, but only slightly smaller. Spirit of generosity goes together with functionality: the body has no superfluous details, but the experienced eye can accurately discern the representative of blue blood. The line inputs spaced on the sides, a military solid heat sink, finally, the weight similar to a vintage home amplifier, all these indirect feature make up a curious picture. If you open the accompanying documentation, the questions will disappear: we see an amplifier created by the music fans who don’t know the term "compromise." It is made to make sound come to life, play with colors and emotions.

When acquainting closer with Sinfoni Prestigio, we see a few illustrative moments that can serve as an example for its competitors. Let's start with the most compelling, which excite the minds of those who relentlessly strives towards an ideal: in the power range up to 15 W the amplifier operates in Class A! Be smart, and then the design idea, inspired by the home valve single-sided amplifiers, is easy to understand. Invite acoustic systems with high sensitivity to be your partners and then a genuine enjoyment of music is guaranteed; in such environment the amplifier will work in the audiophile class A for some time, giving the sound of the highest level. For those who are going to follow this way, we recall the restrictions imposed by the selected mode. Related factors are high energy consumption and excessive heat, so the additional measures to improve power resource of automotive power and to create cooling circuit.

When looking closer at the clipboard, we are pleased to find that the per channel sensitivity adjustment is the only available setting. The absence of additional sound processing circuits is quite natural for designers and living ideas of optimally short and clean sound section. The concept of maximum non-intervention is the cornerstone of a truly audiophile product: the sound must reach the listener in its original form, without losing the slightest nuance.
