As owners of high efficiency speakers know, finding a very high quality power amplifier can be a difficult and expensive task, and it was with this in mind when we asked Audion to develop an extremely high quality power amplifier optimised for such systems. The basic design choices were simple, it had to be a feedback free valve design using single ended topology. The 2A3 valves effortless resolution and dynamic prowess made it the obvious choice and so the Silver Night 2A3 amplifier was born.

The Silver Night 2A3 is completely hand made and hard wired with pure silver wire in selected parts of the audio stage. Only high quality components are used to ensure the finest sound and non ferrous (military grade aluminium) casework is used for both sonic and cosmetic reasons. A combination of 5687 and 6922 valves are used to feed the wonderful mono plate Sovtek 2A3 output valve, and the design produces 4 watts per channel (6dBW).

This amplifier is an ideal partner to very high speaker systems such as Avantgarde, Vitavox, Fostex, Supravox or Lowther based systems, as it has the dynamic realism and low noise to work under this kind of magnification. Its low power output precludes its use with some inefficient designs, however most people that listen in small rooms and don’t listen at particularly high volumes are amazed at what it can do even with a well designed 90+dB sensitive speaker.
