Advance Paris A10 APEX Hybrid Tube and Solid State Integrated Amplifier

The APEX range is the result of the Advance Paris engineering team’s efforts to push the boundaries of our Classic range in terms of performance and functionality. The A10 APEX features the hybrid design of our flagship integrated amplifiers, with high power output (130W in Class A/B at 8 Ω) and the same musicality that is recognized worldwide. To celebrate the brand’s 30th anniversary, we are presenting a special limited edition 30TH EDITION with a black finish and white VU meters. The A10 APEX combines timeless design with modern technology to deliver power, musicality and ease of use.
