{"product_id":"lavardin-map-endverstaerker","title":"Lavardin MAP Mono Power Amplifiers Pair France","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lavardin MAP is a pair of completely separate mono power amplifiers – one chassis per channel, each with its own complete power supply. This design has been considered the pinnacle of the Lavardin power-amp range for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MAP?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of sharing two channels in one chassis, Lavardin gives the MAP its own complete power supply per channel. That costs more space and more money than a classic stereo power amp, but it fully decouples the two channels from each other – a tangible advantage with demanding speaker loads that you can hear even without a measuring device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite a moderate wattage, the MAP feels more authoritative in the bass and more stable in the soundstage than the numbers suggest – a direct result of having a dedicated power amp per channel. Details that get lost in the noise floor with shared power supplies come through more clearly, without the presentation turning clinical or analytical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MAP for? (and who isn't it for)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor music lovers with demanding, possibly hard-to-drive speakers, who are willing to place two separate chassis in the rack for maximum channel separation. Straight talk: if you're short on space, or would already be happy with a classic stereo power amp like the AP150, you don't need to pay the premium for the MAP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAP isn't a device for the spec sheet, but for ears that actually want to hear the difference between good and uncompromising channel separation. Anyone investing here demands the best possible – and gets it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: pair (2 mono chassis, 1 channel each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 55 W RMS at 8 Ω per channel, max. 110 W at 2 Ω per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput sensitivity: 780 mV, input impedance 10 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput: 1 RCA input per chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: 1 pair of speaker terminals (5-way) per chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: 0.001% at full power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 25 W in standby per chassis, max. 400 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions per chassis (W×H×D): 430 × 135 × 340 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12 kg per chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the MAP need two separate chassis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each channel gets its own complete power supply. This complete separation of the power supply prevents the two channels from interfering with each other – especially during dynamic musical passages, a clearly audible advantage over shared power supplies in one chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MAP sold as a pair or individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExclusively as a pair, since a stereo system always needs both mono chassis – one per speaker channel. The stated price refers to the complete pair, including both power supplies and chassis, ready to operate with your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MAP suit hard-to-drive speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's one of its strengths. The complete channel separation, with its own power supply per power amp, ensures stable control even as impedance drops, where shared stereo power amps tend to reach their limits and can audibly falter – the MAP stays composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Lavardin MAP from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA device in this class deserves a personal consultation, not an online click without any questions asked.
