General : The Aavik U-150 is a high-quality and modern integrated amplifier. This is the most complete edition which has been expanded to include the outstanding DAC and Phono modules. This makes this Aavik U-150 extremely versatile.

Technology : The Aavik U-150 is a very powerful amplifier with very low distortion figures. The amplifier is a musical and very powerful Pascal UMAC class D module. With its 2 x 300 Watts at 8 Ohm and no less than 2 x 600 Watts at 4 Ohm, the Aavik U-150 is capable of effortlessly driving virtually any loudspeaker on the market. The DAC has sufficient connections and can convert PCM signals up to 32bit/192kHz. The USB-B input also accepts DSD64 and DSD128, but this is downsampled to high res PCM. The phono stage is a fully discrete module with floating ground, the design of the phono module in the U-150 is to create a very low noise floor. It is not a simple, cheap module, it is truly a complete phono preamplifier built into the U-150. This phono connection is only suitable for MC elements. The display is very easy to read, even from great distances. Of course, this display can be dimmed, or switched off completely. Remote control can be done using the supplied Apple remote.

Sound : The Aavik U-150 sounds spatial, tight and very dynamic. The playback is incredibly easy and in an organic and honest way. Despite the transparent and airy character of the U-150, the sound never comes across as technical or analytical. The live feel is present, and the emotional transfer is excellent. You can combine the Aavik U-150 with many types and brands of loudspeakers, we have achieved excellent results with, of course, the loudspeakers from sister brand Børresen Acoustics, but also with loudspeakers from Sonus Faber, or magnetostats from Magnepan or Analysis Audio.

This Aavik Acoustics U-150 is in very good condition, the only thing noticeable about the visual condition is a small piece of plastic that has broken off at the back near the spare fuse holder, nothing to worry about. The amplifier is supplied in its original packaging including manual and Apple remote control for operation.
