Hi-fi amplifiers

Best stereo amp £1000-£1500, Awards 2012

Best stereo amp £600-£1000, Awards 2012. A fine amplifier, and even better value than the old 6XP

Meaty and powerful, but not the most refined listen

A great DAC added to an already established stereo amplifier

A small and simple amp, packing enormous punch, but performance is a classic mixed bag

Stereo amplifier Product of the Year 2011. A big step-up from the older 6003 version, and hard to fault at this price

Best stereo amp £400-£600, Awards 2012. The Rega Brio-R is an immensely musical amplifier that doesn't cost silly money

There's no denying that this fine Plinius amplifier is a worthy product, but it's more for those who prefer excitement over subtlety

Capable, with an impressive range of abilities, but a touch too clinical

It's big, weighs a large amount and gets very hot - but for the money, this Audio Analogue is one hell of a lot of amplifier
