An USED AVI Component Amplifier , consisting of







The MP2000 pre Amplifier with phonostage & 2 X S2000M Mono block amplifiers.







these are the latest 150wpc rms versions with the silver back and bottom and the double heat vents on the top of the power amps.



They are in Good condition and all sound perfect



one power amp has a slight mark on the top casinf but doesnt notice in situe.







These cost Together £2350 New.







If you don't know about these, they are one of the best component power amps ever made, extremely powerful at a conservetive 150 per channel RMS in to 8ohms,







Extremely Dynamic and Neutral but never boring always keeping you smiling whatever you play















They are very weighty with big Power supplies even before you listen to them you feel your getting your moneys worth







I haven't got the original boxes but it all will be perfectly packed for couriering to you.

This is such a great amp and a bargain you wont be dissapointed.

Pick up welcome

AVI IN 2001

AVI have established a reputation for designing and building some of the finest sounding, no-compromise audiophile audio equipment that you can buy, winning many awards and finding favour with serious music enthusiasts and professionals all over the world. AVI.

However, whilst sound quality is of paramount importance, serviceability and durability are also major considerations and they have not been neglected. You can rest assured that all AVI products will last a lifetime and that if service is required, it will be infrequently and inexpensive.

All AVI products, loudspeakers included, are neat elegant and non intrusive, they have been designed to blend in with a wide variety of decor and be easy to use

THE AVI S2000 SYSTEM

Mixing components from different manufacturers more often than not, causes problems, a properly engineered system that carries the same design philosophy throughout will always perform better and look better than its mix and match counterpart.







When you buy an AVI system, you know that each component has been designed to equal or exceed the performance of the best available competition, regardless of price, and because every component is designed with the other components of the system in mind, the result is unrivalled elegance, both in what you hear and what you see. With AVI, there is no weak link in the audio chain unless it's the source material itself

S2000MP+P PREAMPLIFIEr

Gramophone magazine awarded the S2000MP "Audio Classic" status and said: "This superb preamplifier is well nigh perfect in its transparency to the signal."







The S2000MP remote-controlled preamplifier forms the heart of the "Top of The range" AVI system S2000 and includes the option of a discrete phono stage in addition to five remotely selectable line-level inputs. For the benefit of those who have consigned vinyl permanently to history, a non-phono version, the S2000MP, is available with six line level inputs. Both models have full tape in/out facilities. Of course if you should renew your interests in vinyl, you can have the phono stage added to the basic model at a later date.







The new S2000MP+P phono preamplifier stage is both MM and MC compatible and features massive headroom which avoids the instability and latching-up problems associated with many audio ICs.







Based on all-discrete, class A circuitry fed from a separately screened power supply, the S2000MP (with or without phono stage) has an exceptionally low output impedance (0.2ohms) making its performance essentially independent of load. Gain control is via a motor-driven potentiometer and all switching is performed by reed relays. Intensive listening tests have shown, quite conclusively, that even the best active gain and switching devices introduce quite audible artefacts so you won't find any of those in an AVI design. All the critical electrical components were chosen after stringent listening tests and the company ensures that each and every unit measure up to its extremely high standard

S2000MM MONOBLOC POWER AMP







The monoblocks have been in production for eight years now and have been constantly improved during that time. The latest version appearing in May '00. Their sound quality and astonishing dynamic range have gained them almost "cult" status. They have significantly lower distortion than most other amplifiers and it does not alter regardless of load.







AVI's revolutionary S2000MM Monobloc power amplifiers deliver up to 150W of continuous sine wave power into 8 ohms, or 225W into 4 ohms ensuring the accurate reproduction of musical transients, even with the most complex loudspeaker loads.







Amplifier distortion has been minimised by meticulous design while radical circuit topography effectively isolates the signal path from power supply modulation - a significant cause of low frequency distortion in many lesser designs. To build a conventional amplifier with the same degree of immunity would require a power supply the size of a microwave oven and the cost would be astronomical.







With a damping factor in excess of 10,000, an unequalled dynamic range and a frequency response more commonly associated with radio transmitters than audio equipment, the S2000MMs can make even the best loudspeakers sound significantly smoother and more open. Trials with leading industry speakers (and our own) also revealed an increase in low level definition and bass detail. The S2000MMs make a perfect match, both visually and musically, for the rest of the AVI range and the only parameter that's been compromised is the price. We think that once you've heard a pair of S2000MMs you'll agree that they're totally unique - for most, a real culture shock
