This new one from Audio Research may be just what you are looking for!<\/h3>\n<p>Audio Research is pleased to announce the launch of the Reference 160S stereo power amplifier. The new product distills the astonishing resolution, dynamic impact, musical purity and finesse of the 160M into one beautiful and attainable chassis designed for the music lover in all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Following the example of the internationally-acclaimed 160M monaural power amplifier introduced in 2018, the Reference 160S (REF160S) is a vacuum-tube design with dual transparent power meters that float in front of the eight KT150 output power tubes.<\/p>\n<p>The 160S continues the feature set introduced in the 160M, including a proprietary auto-bias circuit, switchable Triode or Ultralinear modes of operation, balanced and single-ended inputs, and an output tube monitoring mode. Additionally, the 160S offers a four-layer circuit board, allowing music to emanate from a jet-black background.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product Details:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight: 100 Lbs<\/li>\n<li>Depth: 21.5\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Power Rating: 140 WPC<\/li>\n<li>2 Rear Handles <em>(for increased mobility) <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you in the market for a new amplifier?
