The newly updated A52+ maintains the award-winning performance of its predecessor, while offering an incredible 44% increase in power. According to Home Theater Review, the original A52 was praised as a "truly musically engaging amplifier with an alter ego that likes to blow stuff up." And now, with even more power at its disposal, the A52+ can deliver even more dynamic and explosive sound while retaining its graceful and captivating musicality.
