Maestro Settanta Integrated Amp

The Maestro series represents the highest expression of Audio Analogue technology applied to music reproduction. Audio Analogue has optimised the performance of its Maestro Series -aiming for harmonious component integration incorporating very tight tolerance resistors, quality interfacing and MIL grade components with oversized capacity.

The concept behind the design helps deliver a detailed sound that provides for high emotional involvement. The recreated virtual space, the texture control at low frequencies, the smooth presence in the mid range and the airy purity of the high frequencies all contribute to the Maestro Series delivering high fidelity reproduction.

The insightful usability of Maestro components has been one of the primary targets of Audio Analogue’s designers: a metal like aluminium that adapts itself by discreetly reflecting colour from the surrounds, the immediate ease of the controls, the legibility and soberness of the silkscreens, the use of rustproof steel buttons and the cabinet’s rounded edges all come from an exhaustive study of the equipment’s functionality and safety.

Maestro: hymn to joy of listening!
