It USED TO BE that virtually all modestly priced electronics in our hi-fi hobby came from China.
While China still dominates the inexpensive mass market on Amazon, Atoll of France has changed the landscape of AFFORDABLE ELECTRONICS for true music lovers.
We welcome Atoll because they make stunningly fine integrated amps, CD players and separates, that budget oriented audiophiles can afford. By spending just over a grand for your integrated, you can now derive significantly better sound from your speakers, compared to using any Chinese amp for even close to similar money.
Integrated Amps
An integrated amp is the typical hub of a fine hi-fi system. You run your streamer, CD player, turntable and maybe even TV, into the integrated amp.
Atoll’s integrateds are a big improvement over Yamahas, Denons, NADs and other well known brands- all of which are made in China.
Atoll is a family operated company, founded 1997, that actually builds its gear, including circuit boards, like works of art at their factory in France, with a 3 year warranty.
Virtually all the affordable brands we know are made in job houses in China. They’re not even made by the people whose name is on the face plate. It is literally piece work from a factory that’s pumping out audio gear, GPS devices and a myriad of other electronic widgets.
Take a look at what Atoll has to offer and DON’T LOOK BACK at the mass production that sends our money and jobs half way around the globe. You can get serious hi-fi with more powerful bass and smoother sound with Atoll, compared to the mass production.
