AMC XIA100se: Classic modern transistor amplifier
The AMC XIA100se is the compact brother of the top model XIA150se and impresses with almost identical construction, features and design. With an output of 100 watts into 8 ohms and 180 watts into 4 ohms, this integrated amplifier still offers plenty of power for demanding listeners.

At the heart of the AMC XIA100se is a powerful 400 VA toroidal transformer which, together with a high-performance power supply unit and 32,800 microfarads of filter capacitance from 4 electrolytic capacitors, ensures a stable power supply. The two channel-separated power amplifier modules, in conjunction with the HCO power supply unit, are capable of delivering peak currents of up to 30 amps to the speakers.
In terms of sound, the AMC XIA100se is impressive across the board and is in no way inferior to the larger XIA150se. Thanks to the "Soft Clipping" technology, it produces the typical AMC sound image with a hint of tube character.
In terms of features, the XIA100se is also in no way inferior to the flagship model. It offers solid, gold-plated speaker connections, a phono input for MM/MC (switchable on the high-quality phono board), three line inputs, three digital inputs with 24-bit / 192 kHz Hi-Res converters, pre-out, main-in, audio-out and a headphone connection.
Disconnectable tone controls and a balance control are integrated for demanding users. A remote control with motorized source selection switch rounds off the versatile features of this amplifier.

The AMC XIA100se combines classic amplifier technology with modern features and thus offers first-class sound performance and extensive connection options.
