La Revue du Son, France , issue dec. 06 JEAN PAUL HIRAGA The test of the Baldur 70 monophonic blocks done almost one year ago has pleased us, their price not being over 4000 € the pair, putting them in the leading group of best deals in amplifiers with tubes linking generous available power (80 W RMS) and musical qualities due to the optimal use of the double triodes 6AS7G. On this limited series, the beauty, the sounds refinement, as well as the natural of the stereophonic scene reaches even higher while referring to the same sonorous politic. The few 240 W RMS available bring on the voices, the piano as well as on the most various sounds a sonorous field, an even more valuable support, such as the Baldur 70 but better everywhere. The spectral balance appears very slightly decreasing towards the shrill is not a default. We get used to it so well that going back to common electrical seem to go towards an excessive luminosity. A complete success at a studied price which will charm the melanomists. ROBERT LACRAMPE At first look these mono blocks impress quite by their sizes, their weight, the calories that they release. But the divine surprise is revealed in the sonorous performance which top the work! It is – on my opinion – the best hearing of the year. I know that there is still the December edition but I am ready to put my hand in the fire of their tubes: these power units will not soon be dethroned. Which surprised me the most, was to find under the same cover the fruity of the tubes and the unlimited energy feeling usually provided by more powerful transistorized amplifiers. It is extremely rare to combine both! But it is not all: The AudioValve know how to restore the pianissimis with grace, fluidity, lightness that the stronger one of 1000 W do not have! Listening to a piano is delightful: the instrument is released in all its width and without the message being strike. An unforgettable listening… with one of some 300B.

Who can claim to know the world of tube
amplifiers, if they do not know the AudioValve products! These unique music-technical jewels in
tube technology, hand produced by AudioValve, signify and prove, as hardly any other like
product, that the technically viable in terms of quality and reproduction
can be accomplished. Maximum effort
combined with virtually unlimited investment in development reached
its peak, the new design “BALDUR 300” in the BALDUR line, available
in 2005. As a result of this investment, AudioValve
offers an ultimately refined and unique state-of-the-art tube amplifier
weighing of 55kg which has a justifiable top position in the category
“power triode class - tube amplifier”. But really, is there any other triode power amplifier in this top category apart
from BALDUR
300 with an output of nearly 240 watt sinus at 1% distortion? Sophisticated design and technology form
a harmonious symbiosis which is reflected in its outstanding reproduction
characteristics coupled with an incredibly high operational reliability
for tube amplifiers. Auto-Bias regulates, controls and safeguards
protective circuits and a further 800 components in the amplifier
thus making the BALDUR 300 virtually indestructible.

The exchange of tubes or reconnection of
loudspeakers during operation are things which only can be done
with BALDUR – or have you ever tried to disconnect a loudspeaker
from an amplifier during operation at a High-End trade fair and
managed to leave the hall before the booth staff could kill you? With BALDUR 300 the listener acquires a
piece of German High End history written by a man who - as no other
– has created his own ideas regarding tube amplifiers with untiring
strength for decades in an unorthodox but brilliant, competent and
qualified way, who promptly and ingeniously puts his experience
gathered over decades into action in all product series made by
AutoValve and in the BALDUR 300 of course. A product which in every respect is totally
committed to the principle “ Made in Germany” and which you and
your grandchildren will enjoy for decades. An encounter with BALDUR means feeling
the difference – no ordinary tube amplifier boasts of being a relic
of past times. An encounter with BALDUR is an encounter
of a special kind . This encounter eliminates your fear of
tubes and gives you the feeling of superior reliability, never ending
power and endurance. Very soon you will begin to appreciate, love
and enjoy the charismatic features and time after time be enchanted
by the charm of BALDUR. Even the Baldur 200 had legendary characteristics.
BALDUR 300 with almost double the power will definitely continue
this trend. |
