"Actually, we are scientists ... because T + A means theory and application in terms of audio technology." This is how the T + A catalog for the brand new R series begins - and we got this impression when we presented these new devices in the At T + A and a small factory tour for a look behind the scenes. What we still hear: How passionately science is carried out at T + A - because attention to detail and great enthusiasm for even the smallest component we encounter again and again on this day. In 1992 T + A launched the first R series, now followed by an innovative R series 2000. This includes the two integrated amplifiers PA 2000 R and PA 2500 R, a multi-source player MP 2000 R and a turntable G 2000 R. The latter is available in two versions. The first impression, even before we hear the first sound: Smaller, very high-quality housings made of hand-brushed aluminum - optionally in fine silver or classic black - in a timeless, pure design based on the predecessor, not only promise great visual pleasure in the new R series. An absolute novelty in the R series is the high-voltage technology, which was previously reserved for the HV series - the "small" PA 2000 R integrated amplifier is extremely load-stable and provides 200 watts at 4 ohms. The big brother PA 2500 R reaches 280 watts at 4 ohms. Strength and stability even under peak loads convinced us during a demonstration. Also new: Both come with three XLR inputs. Operation in a surround system via surround pass-through with activation via trigger signal is also possible.
