Accuphase E-5000 Precision Integrated Stereo Amplifier

Developed for Accuphase's 50th anniversary, the E-5000 is a high-power Class AB integrated amplifier built for listeners who want serious drive from a single chassis.

Balanced AAVA volume control anchors a fully balanced circuit, backed by a five-fold push-pull power stage in a genuinely robust output section. Tone controls, a loudness compensator, dual speaker outputs for bi-amping, and two option-board expansion slots give it real day-to-day flexibility alongside its underlying power.
