Symphonia
Streaming Integrated Amplifier
With this streaming amplifier, we pay homage to nearly 50 years of Engineering Emotion. Breathing life into the claim “The Future of Retro” this device is both a bold look to the future of audio as well as a nod to the generations of T+A engineers, designers and craftspeople past and present whose ideas and hands have helped shape some of the most iconic devices, be it in terms of technology, looks or aesthetics.
Merging our very latest in streaming technology, digital to analogue conversion and amplification with an industrial design that celebrates our most beloved past products, from phased front panels to hand assembled VU-metres, the Symphonia is retro in the very best sense of the term: grounded in the past without just rehashing it yet also embracing the future without forgetting its roots. It combines the past and modernity on the quest to be a sonic companion for eternity.

Actually we’re scientists….
Ever since 1978 our driving force has been curiosity. Our aim was to define the framework of the possible, and push its limits a little further each day, and that’s what formed the stone of this company. We always aspired to the creation of new findings rather than the exploitation of existing knowledge. We were determined to carve out our own advances, and not simply follow the progress of technology.
