TEAC AP-701 Stereo Power Amplifier

Description

About the TEAC AP-701 Stereo Power Amplifier

At Rapallo, the TEAC AP-701 Stereo Power Amplifier is all about effortless power and control.

This is not your typical Class D amplifier. TEAC has implemented a highly refined design that delivers a sound that is tight, dynamic and incredibly controlled, without the harshness sometimes associated with Class D. Bass is authoritative, midrange is clean and transparent, and the overall presentation is composed and precise.

Paired with the UD-701N, it creates a serious reference-level system with minimal box count. It’s also versatile enough to work with a wide range of preamps and sources.

The TEAC AP-701 is available for demonstration at Rapallo AV, so you can experience its control, dynamics and refinement in a real-world system.
