NVA M160 Monoblock Power Amplifiers
Designed for use with the NVA passive pre-amplifiers, the M160 amplifiers are handmade in the UK using very high quality components. The M160s were initially designed as low-power amps for driving the tweeters in a bi-amping set up. However, with careful speaker matching the M160s can be used as full range amplifiers with excellent results; look for speakers labelled 8 ohms nominal impedance and which do not drop below 6 ohms impedance in the low frequencies. We'll be happy to advise on specific models of speaker - just get in touch.

IMPORTANT - there is no protection circuitry or filtering on the output of our amplifiers (that's one of the reasons why they sound so good!), so care must be taken in use. Do not short circuit the output; doing so will fatally damage the amplifier boards. Do not use high capacitance speaker cables as these could damage the amplifier by creating a virtual short-circuit at high frequencies. Do not use bi-wiring with non-NVA cables. Do not use Litz, Goertz or woven cables. Do not twist cables together. Avoid cables with a capacitance of greater than 200pf per metre (failure to do so will invalidate our warranty) and do not use non-NVA cables over 10 metres in length. The best sounding speaker cable for NVA and the perfect electrical match, is our LS series of low capacitance cables. Proof of purchase of NVA speaker cable, or another suitable low capacitance speaker cable, may be required when submitting any NVA amplifier for warranty repair.
