Akai AM-2200 Amplifier and AT-2200 Tuner

A lovely example of late 70’s Japanese HiFi design. Combining understated elegance, tactile controls and that unmistakable brushed aluminium aesthetic. The appeal here is not just the sound. It’s the craftsmanship, symmetry and experience of listening to music through a thoughtfully assembled vintage system. The AM-2200 is a modestly powered but thoughtfully designed integrated amplifier, delivering 20 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Don’t let the numbers fool you. With appropriately matched, efficient speakers, it has enough power for enjoyable everyday listening. Its matching AT-2200 tuner completes the package beautifully. Covering FM and AM, it features a large analogue tuning dial, separate signal-strength and tuning meters, and an adjustable output level. The AM-2200 is best appreciated as a smaller, understated vintage amplifier rather than a powerhouse. Its appeal lies in its straightforward analogue design, useful phono stage and uncomplicated operation. Pair it with efficient bookshelf speakers and it can make a very enjoyable vinyl and radio system. Complete the system with the Akai AP0010 Belt Drive Turntable for an additional C$300 DM @oddly_curated for details
