Piccolo (1900) must be the smallest integrated amplifier this company has produced;
its best known for massive models holding quartets of 845s or 300Bs. This is pitched
as a "desktop amplifier," clearly for feeding from your computer.
Single-ended and operating in pure class A, the Piccolo outputs 6Wpc from two EL84s,
driven by 12AU7s/ECC802s. Theres no negative feedback, dimensions are a tidy 9
1/2"W x 4 3/8"H x 11 1/4"D, and the weight is 20 pounds. It should look
great next to your iMac. |
