The Verdi Settanta REV2.0 Integrated Amplifier represents an accomplished expression of Audio Analogue’s new strategy aimed at giving users the best quality yet taking into the due account their budget. Every operative feature and performance of the Verdi Settanta is optimized to maximize the customer’s satisfaction, sound quality, manufacturing and assembly perfection, look & style and performances, together with the famous family look and ease of use common to all Audio Analogue products. The user perceives a very high class: great contents, superb sound and long-lasting with no wearouts or performance detriment. The new, totally remote-controlled hybrid circuit delivers crystal-clear power up to 70W per channel on 8 Ohm, with dynamic headroom sufficient to satisfy the requirements of every speaker in the same price range and beyond. Tha power stage is made around the now usual LM3886T power packs (same as those used on the famous Jeff Rowland amplifier, Concentra): they are BJT integrated power devices able to deliver currents up to 12A and perfectly protected agains overloads and overheat. Tha “smart” protections used in these deviced allow for, in normal operation conditions, the deliver of huge power without limiting the dynamics of the output signal. The hybrid preamplifier circuit is made using a 6922 double triode per channel as gain stage and balancer, to drive the power stage in balanced mode. It operates a perfect interface between the integrated bufferless resistor network potentiomenter and the power amp’s input, contributing to the balanced yet vivid and crisp sound of the amplifier. Solid state input selectors allow for indefinite best quality performance (no sound detriment due to metallic contacts ageing and wear-out). The MM/MC phono stage allows for the use of avery cartridge with more than 0,2mV output voltage. Few amplifiers in this price range have this feature. The remote control also allows users to control the “companion” CD player Rossini, as well as the Primo CD player, the Primo Tuner VT and the “companion” tuner of the Verdi SETTANTA REV2.0 when available. Of course, all the main features of the amplifiers can be used by the front panel’s controls. Great care has been used in the passive and active components selection, as usual for Audio Analogue.

The new, totally remote-controlled discrete components circuit deliver crystal-clear power up to 70W per channel on 8 Ohm, with impressive dynamic headroom. Very accurate protections save the power stage and the speakers from burn-outs, while allowing for full dynamic power delivery in every normal listening situation. The high-performance discrete components preamplifier circuit operates a perfect interface between the integrated bufferless resistor network potentiomenter and the power amp’s input, contributing to the balanced sound of the amplifier. Solid state input selectors allow for indefinite best quality performance (no sound detriment due to metallic contacts ageing and wear-out).
The Puccini70 REV2.0 has a phono input with which both MC and MM cartridges can be used and has a MonOut output to directly drive an active subwoofer.
A special bypass feature, selectable by remote’s “setup” option, allows the user to turn the Puccini 70 REV2.0 into a power amplifier on a specified input, to include the amplifier in a multichannel system as front speakers power amp, while using the same speakers for two channel listening using the stereo sources connected to the amplifier.
The seven-keys solid brass remote control allows for a more flexible control of the Puccini 70 REV2.0. Of course, all the main features of the amplifiers can be used by the front panel’s simple controls.
Great care has been used in the passive and active components selection, as usual for Audio Analogue.
