Looking to find out more about the Audio Refinements Complete A power amp...


Hello to all...

Looking to find out more about the Audio Refinements Complete A power amp: found one in good shape (cosmetically at least) at a price I can afford. Looking for real world experiences of those who owned one or actually heard one, as well as any other products by this manufacturer...

Some info on the internet - anyone an opinion on a vintage piece like this...

I have an Audio Refinement Complete Integrated Amp in my second system. I like it a lot. I think I paid $400 or $435 for it used and feel it was a great value. I might try moving it into my main system if I get more efficient speakers. Would be nice to get away with only $400ish bucks as the center of my main system.
If you are talking about the Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp, I owned one for several years a while back as well. I believe they were a subsidiary of YBA if I recall, a French company. These amps were well regarded and have great sound for the money. The Complete integrated is known for having a somewhat sweeter and perhaps more musical presentation as opposed to being analytical. I recall the power was good and it was solidly built. It was one of my favorite integrated amps. Never had any issues with it at all.
reubent and figuy: thank you for your responses...

I would use this with my KEF Q1 speakers (high 80s efficiency) and biwired and/or biamp them: opinion?

As a sidebar: do either of you have an opinion about the other 3 pieces of the set - the CD player, the Tuner and the remote?
