Advance Paris, an award-winning French audio company, is formally announcing their entry into the US market. The company is celebrating its 30th anniversary with this expansion, and It offers a unique blend of design, function, and affordability.
Company History
Advance Paris began in 1995 as Advance Acoustic. Initially, they manufactured speakers. In 2003, they introduced their first integrated amplifier. This amplifier showcased their signature style. It included visible VU meters and classic tube preamplifiers. These design elements remain central to the brand today.
Product Highlights
According to the company, the A12 Classic Integrated Amplifier ($3799) is their best-selling product. This hybrid amplifier uses both tube and solid-state technology. It delivers 190 watts per channel. The A12 has many connection options. These include HDMI, Phono, USB, and Bluetooth. Its distinctive appearance complements any speaker system.
Ed. Note: As a side note, I had a chance to check out the A12 at Axpona last year, and it was a beautiful piece with a nice clean refined sound. It did the PMC speakers they had connected justice.
