Advanced Audio Paris A10 Integrated?

[orbscure]

Has anybody got any real world/hands on experience of the Advanced Paris A10 Classic Integrated Amp?

There are several videos posted in YouTube land, but its not a brand I've heard of before, let alone experienced in person.... so I'd welcome thoughts of those who may have heard one, or sacré bleu, may even have one in their system...

Not exactly but I have a Advance Acoustic Mpp 206 pre which is a beauty. Franco Chinese company.

Many thanks for the feedback... its an interesting brand and although the styling isn't something I'd be drawn too, the Paris A10 seems to have most, if not all, bases covered for a one box integrated solution. I have a friend with a pair of AN speakers, who after chatting to a UK based dealer, was pointed in the direction of this integrated... but as always, without a home demo, its always a risky spend on a relatively unknown brand in the hope it works better in his system than his current components...

Personally I'd avoid anything with a microprocessor in it.

I had an inbalance problem with my system so I thought an amplifier with remote controlled balance would be a good cure. I found a s/h Advance Acoustic X-i75 which fitted the bill so I purchased it for a reasonable price. It was a bit of a punt on an unknown brand. I liked the 75 so much that I purchased an exdemo X-i125 which is almost the same as the A-10 but without the valves. Its a great sounding amp and all the features can be altered using the remote.

I used to live close to the Portuguese distributor when they first started be sold there. I attended a few demos and was never impressed.
But that was eons ago, maybe they improved?
