Symphony Audio Import has announced that it has added the prestigious American audio brand Convergent Audio Technology (CAT) to its distribution portfolio.
Naturally, Dutch importer Symphony Audio Import is very pleased with the addition of Convergent Audio Technology (CAT). According to the importer, CAT is “internationally renowned for its high-quality tube amplifiers, designed by legendary founder and chief designer Ken Stevens. His products offer a perfect balance between technical precision, musical expression and captivating listening pleasure. Since 1986, Convergent Audio Technology has developed into a pioneer in high-end audio, with a strong focus on musical neutrality. CAT’s philosophy is clear: amplifiers should not add coloration, but let the music speak for itself.”
Quality
The Convergent Audio Technology range includes both preamplifiers and power amplifiers. “Each model,” Symphony Audio Import notes, “is designed with meticulous attention to component quality, internal signal paths and tube technology. Compared to earlier generations, current models now feature auto-bias, while the top models are even equipped with Teflon circuit boards. Models such as the SL1 preamplifier and the JL2 Signature Mk2 power amplifier are praised worldwide for their open, dynamic and emotionally engaging sound. Uniquely, CAT amplifiers are among the few high-end designs capable of driving even the most challenging loudspeakers with ease and full control, resulting in a natural, lifelike and spacious presentation.”
A valuable addition
For Symphony Audio Import, the collaboration with CAT represents a valuable expansion of its offering for demanding music lovers. “Ken Stevens’ tube amplifiers provide the listener with a direct and exceptionally communicative connection to the music. They achieve this by integrating many crucial aspects in an unparalleled way into a highly appealing whole. Just consider the rich, fluid and natural sound, while maintaining definition, airiness and a beautifully layered 3D stereo image. This type of reproduction is something many music lovers will truly appreciate, regardless of the loudspeakers used,” says Jan Coenen of Symphony Audio Import.
The Convergent Audio Technology range is, for the time being, exclusively available through Symphony Audio Import. Demonstrations are possible by appointment, allowing interested listeners to experience the exceptional performance of Convergent Audio Technology’s tube amplifiers for themselves.
