Hi All,

We love the Astell&Kern portable players here but when we heard that Astell&Kern were entering the HiFi market we weren’t really sure what they would come up with, well they certainly weren’t mucking around, first they launched the AK500N network player that really is one of the best sounding sources out there with bit perfect cd ripping and SSD Storage which I always finds give the best sound quality, but now they have launched the matching power amp and power supply all in a modular system that really does look quite stunning, it is certainly unique and I am please to say that we now have the full system on permanent demonstration.

We had it running on the PMC Fact.12′s the other day to see just how capable the amplifier section is as 100wpc doesn’t sound much and the Fact.12′s are notoriously hard to drive but the AK500 didn’t even break a sweat, it really did sound excellent, making a very stylish and high performing system.

The specs on the AK500 System really are very impressive, there are too many to go into here but please see below for a link to our site for more information and if you would like to come in for a listen anytime please feel free to get in touch.
