Amplificator Integrat Audio Analogue CrescendoThe Crescendo Integrated Amplifier is an
appliance which can deliver 50W on a 8Ohm load with a THD+N of less then
0.05% and 80W on a 4Ohm load with a THD+N of less then 0.05%. So the
ratio of the 8Ohm and 4Ohm power is extremely good, if not absolutely
astonishing for an item in this price range! Whats more, the additional
characteristics of the unit not only make it a real benchmark in its
class but a whole lot more because it is, in reality, a true high end
integrated amplifier! The SNR is more than 100dB and the band-width more
than 150KHz. We havent just tried to reach good electrical stats, but,
in line with the Audio Analogue philosophy, we have also worked
attentively on the sound, which has been perfectly tuned to the
Crescendo CD Player. The Crescendo Integrated Amplifier has also been designed to be really very versatile:
It has 5 Line Inputs and a frontal input
to be connected to a MP3 Player Line Output, such as an iPod, it also
has a REC Out and a Phone Out. The LINE Input 5 can be configured
in By-Pass mode to easily place the Crescendo INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER in
an audio video system (Click Here
for details), in such a configuration the Crescendo INTEGRATED
AMPLIFIER can drive the front loudspeaker, which can easily be shared
between the Stereo-System and the Audio/Video-System increasing also the
overall Audio/Video audio quality. The possibility to choose the
volume scale steps to match the steps to the loudspeakers sensibility. 4
different scales are available, 3 of which have been
designed for different loudspeaker sensitivity and the last with 79
steps, 1dB each, for the most precise scale of all, if required. The balance function.
Crescendo IA has a Trigger-In input by which it can be switched on by
the Crescendo CD Player or by the Crescendo Tuner/USB DAC. Input Impedance - Line Level

Evolved from the well-reviewed 3-Series, the new 1-Series continues the
pleasing aesthetics with the sloping front baffle (103), magnetic
grilles and elegant finishes with the usual great sound, performance and
build quality that you expect from Acoustic Energy. We also offer the 1-Series as 5.1 packages for home cinema use. These
comprise 108 sub, 107 centre, 101's for rear and either a further set of
101's for the front or a pair of 103 floorstanders.
The AE 103 is a front ported design that allows for easy room positioning. Behind its angled baffle and magnetic grilles, the AE
103 floorstanding loudspeaker is a front ported design that allows for
close to wall placement if desired, making it easier and less fussy to
fit within your decor. The result is a loudspeaker with the power and
depth of a large floorstanding design, yet with a smaller overall size
and more compact footprint than most stand mounted speakers. Hi-Fi World
The Acoustic Energy 103s have a degree of sophistication and all round ability that belies their entry level status. December 2014
Hi-Fi Choice
It's small but perfectly formed with a bright, breezy; open and musical sound and surprisingly inexpensive too. Great value!December 2014
HiFi Wigwam
What we have is a great performing pair of loudspeakers that would be a
huge upgrade for those people graduating from a 200 set of
stand-mounts, or the budget conscious buyer looking to downsize a big
system without giving up on sound quality. Proceed firmly, directly and
with vigour to a friendly dealer for a demonstration!April 2014
