LTA Z40 Integrated Plus
For those who want a simple system that delivers the best musical experience, an Integrated Amplifier is the way to go. The New Z40+ Integrated by LTA delivers Hi-Fidelity quality into a single component, allowing a great system to fit into any space in your home at a more affordable price than a comparable system with separate components.
The Z40+ is based on our favorite power amplifier the Z40 reference amp which can effortlessly drive just about any speaker on the market. For high efficiency speakers like the Ravens which are 94dB efficient the Z40i operates in full "Class A" amplification mode, delivering some of the best sound we have every heard!
and why would you want one?
Integrated amps are the most common piece of electronics in the stereos we all grew up with. An Integrated Amplifier is about keeping things simple by combining the pre-amplifier (or the first stage of amplification), with the Power Amplifier (where the heavy lifting occurs in a system).
This has a lot of advantages including:
the reduction of cost in manufacturing (One Chassis for two components!)
delivery of a curated pairing of components (Pre-amp & Power Amp) that do not require costly cables to hook them up.
Smaller footprint, allowing a great system to fit nicely in any room.
LTA has devoted themselves to the goal of delivering Hi-Fidelity to more people, so developing their great products into integrated designs is a natural path we have been excited to be a part of!
