The Topaz AM10 is an excellent entry-level integrated amplifier, perfect for the discerning ear on a budget. "rock-solid units that provide a rewarding array of the musical thrills
and finesse you'd expect when getting started in the high end. No little
leaguers here." -The Absolute Sound September 8th, 2010, Neil Gader
Topaz is a new line of excellent value separates designed from the ground-up in the
UK, designed to break you into the world of hi-fi without breaking the bank.
With a range of powerful iPod/MP3 supporting amplifiers, an integrated receiver
and feature-brimming CD players, Topaz can make a cost-effective contribution
to your setup regardless of what format you prefer, and you won’t be skimping
on top-notch sound.
The Topaz AM10 is the integrated amplifier concept in this
line. It boasts five RCA inputs, one of which is a phono-stage that supports
moving-magnet or moving-coil output levels, a real boon in this price range. It
has full tone and balance controls, easily readable by the front display, and
also features a remote, which can control the Topaz CD10 CD-player as well.
The classy brushed-aluminum front panel features a
quarter-inch headphone jack, as well as an eighth-inch mini input, so you can
plug in from a portable MP3 or CD-player, adding to this component’s great
versatility for home use.
Listening to the AM10 gives you a spacious sound-stage, with a very full dynamic response, tapering softer towards the extreme ends of the frequency range. The tone controls allow you to tweak to match whatever styles of music you prefer. At 35 Watts-per-channel, the Topaz AM10 provides depth
and sweet musicality for a small to medium-sized room. Its variety of inputs,
simple interface, and sleek looks make it the perfect centerpiece for your
home-entertainment center.
