About the AP150

The Lavardin Technologies Model AP150 is a two-channel solid-state stereo power amplifier, described by Lavardin as the direct power-amplifier version of its Model IT integrated amplifier. It uses the company’s high-speed, low-memory-distortion circuit design and is intended to be partnered with a suitable line preamplifier, particularly Lavardin’s Model C62. Manufacturer information identifies the amplifier as delivering approximately 50 W per channel into 8 ohms, with substantial current capability for low-impedance loudspeakers. Independent and dealer-published specifications commonly list 55 W RMS per channel into 8 ohms and up to approximately 110 W per channel into 2 ohms. Some Lavardin material describes total output exceeding 150 W at a 2-ohm load; the differing figures likely reflect different measurement conventions or revisions. The AP150 is a line-level power amplifier and does not include a phono stage, DAC, streaming section, or volume control.
