Hi-fi amplifiers

Can perform miracles with less frenetic genres, but isn't built for anger

A lovely object and a splendid amplifier, the CAP-2100 is a gregarious and eloquent communicator

This amplifier is simply inspirational: beautiful to feel and admire, wonderful with all kinds of music

A big, powerful, attractive amp for the money, even if it’s not without competition

Best stereo amp £700-£1000, Awards 2011. The best all-rounder we’ve heard below the grand mark - this Kandy really is sweet

Superior product in some ways, but the PM5003 lacks the cohesion to trouble the class leaders

The SIA 2-150 is a great all-rounder. It’s one of the best amplifiers at this price level

Big, brash and back-breakingly heavy

One of the clearest amps around. It's impressively precise

Easy on the eye and if you're taken by the styling and fancy something a little different, we see no reason not to buy
