The i.V2 Ultra Is Now On Display At Big Ear

“The i.V Ultra amplifier has handily outdone all other amps reviewed, regardless of genre, which is unprecedented. I invite the community to peruse the entire listing of amps I have reviewed from the past 14 years; there is not a one of them, not a single one, that I would prefer to be hearing. It’s not just a matter of being somewhat better, or in some respects having advantage, but rather a wholesale superior experience.” Doug Schroeder, Dagogo – May 2020 – Click Here for Full Review

“The i·V2 was also more neutral and controlled than the Pass while having even more punch. The fact that I strained my ears comparing the i·V2 to a $24k Class A reference that is far and away the best amplifier I have ever heard in my system is all the proof I needed. For under $5k, the Legacy i·V2 delivers a balance of refinement and power that is unmatched by any conventional amplifier I’m aware of near its price point, and competitive in absolute terms with the better amplifiers under $10k and beyond. It’s a cut above what I heard from the Bryston 4B Cubed.” – The Audiophile Weekend Warrior (Full Review)

Take advantage of the increased dynamic capability of high resolution recordings with the Legacy i.V3 triple mono amplifier. The same performance as the i.V4 Ultra in a three channel version. You will enjoy a lower noise floor in your recordings, stronger crests, and increased dynamic resolution.

Featuring state of the art ICEedge® technology, the elegant i·V3 Ultra amplifier approaches 80% efficiency while delivering over 600 watts per channel into 8 ohms, both channels driven. Such exceptional power is the product of very high current (i) and voltage (V) output capabilities providing stability into low impedances with a peak output current capability of 38A.

ICEedge® Technology

These long life amplifiers employ ICEedge® technology to sound as clean and uncolored as the best of the best while running much cooler. This balanced differential design operates against a background of silence while delivering incredible current and voltage outputs on demand.

Increased Resolution

Take advantage of the increased dynamic capability of today’s high resolution recordings with the Legacy i·V amplifier series. You will enjoy a lower noise floor in your recordings, stronger crests and increased dynamic resolution.

Higher amplifier power assures the proper snap in transients and means dense musical arrangements will avoid the smearing, strain and inevitable distortion as complex passages reach higher levels.
