Symmetrical Channel
Configuration.
Thissecond generation of Acurus
amplifiers have evolved into high end
amplifiers of exceptional smoothness.
This smoothness was not achieved
at the expense of detail. The ability
to retrieve detail found within the
original source has actually been
improved.
Our new Symmetrical Channel
Configuration reduces harshness and
inter channel anomalies allowing for
the increased smoothness and detail. Real Glass Epoxy Circuit
Boards, Not Just Green
Coated Paper Circuits.
Unlike virtually every other amplifier
in the Acurus price range, all our
amplifiers employ glass epoxy circuit
boards. Is glass epoxy really superior
to the paper circuit boards found in.
the mass produced product?
Absolutely. That's why all medical
and military equipment specifies
glassepoxy.
Made in the USA on the
Back Panel, Not Just an
American Address.
Unlike other componies which put on
American nome on the front panel,
and on American company address
on the rear panel, but are not made
in America, all Acurus amplifiers soy
"Mode in the U.S.A," on the bock
panel. This assures you of getting
original American handmade high
end amplifiers, not a foreign copy
attempt. Why buy a copy when you
can acquire the original?
Heavy Gauge Copper Wire
Wound Toroidal
Transformers, Not Just
Basic Inefficient EI
Transformers.
Unlike other companies which use
EI or thin gauge toroid transformers
all Acurus amplifiers have very
heavy gauge copper wire toroidal
transformers for continuous power
into lower impedance real world
speaker loads. Some amplifiers,
selling at over twice the price of
Acurus, use only small transformers
found in noisy car stereo power
supplies in the name of efficiency.

Fully Discrete Components Selected
From Around the World, Not Just
Whatever's Available.
A significant advantage of manufacturing high quality
Acurvs amplifiers in America, is our free market
society and very low dvty on imported components.
This allows vs to se.lect component parts from around
the world based on qvality and price. That's one
reason why Acvrusis svch a tremendovs valve.
Imported amplifiers are made in foreign countries
where high dvties prevent foreign competition. This
forces foreign manvfactvrers to use parts made in
their own country regardless of qvality.
Real World Speaker Power, Not Just
High Power Specs.
Unlike speakers, test benches use simple 8 ohm
resistive loads. Virtually all other manufacturers
engineer amplifiers/to have high power ratings,
based upon this simple test which is unlike any
speaker in the world. Acurus power amplifiers are
engineered to provide high power into speakers.
Don't compare our Real World Speaker Power to
otheramp1ffiers by looking at power ratings.
1naddltfon, our ratin gs are so conservative that
.,
many other manufacturers would claim the following
walts per channel ratings for Acurus amplifiers.
A200: 300 watts 8 Ohms/600 watts 4 Ohms
A 100: 150 watts 8 Ohms/300 watts 4 Ohms
A200X3: 300 watts 8 Ohms/600 watts 4 Ohms
A100X3: 150 watts 8 Ohms/300 watts 4 Ohms
A125X5: 200 watts 8 Ohms/350 watts 4 Ohms
We urge you to visit your nearest Acurus dealer
and listen to the Acurus amplifiers powering their
better loudspeakers. Experience these hand made
amplifiers for yourself and you will want to make
