  • Versatile Sound Comes First

     

    With 100 watts of power and FM/AM tuner too, AXR100 is an amp to be taken seriously – thanks to an integrated phono stage for easy connection of a turntable, and Bluetooth to play music wirelessly from a smartphone. Dedicated subwoofer output for driving bass, and two sets of speaker outputs add to R100’s appeal. While plenty of sockets front and rear build on that versatility.

      Radio Live Transmission

      With all the talk of streaming, it’s sometimes easy to forget the simple pleasure of radio. Turn it on, and it just works. With AXR100 you can programme up to 40 favourite stations and retrieve them, without having to re-scan. Station information, thanks to RDS, is shown on the white LED dot matrix display.

      Release the Wheels of Steel

      A built-in phono stage is one of many aces up AXR100’s sleeve. You can plug a turntable straight into the rear sockets without any extra kit. Moving magnet compatibility means it works with a wide range of turntables – including that vintage one you’ve always wanted to dust off. Soon you’ll be playing the records you already own and planning the next purchases.

      Thanks to integrated Bluetooth 5.0, it’s simple to play music from your phone, laptop, or other compatible device on AXR100. It’s a great way for friends to share music with you, helping you to discover new favourite albums – before you splash out on a vinyl copy.

      Wired for Sound

      AXR100 is a very well-connected receiver, with 3 pairs of analogue RCA inputs, moving magnet phono section for a turntable and a pair of recording outputs. There’s a single digital coax in, as well as 2 optical connectors. Hi-fi quality speaker binding posts (connectors), for 2 sets of speakers, mean that thick cable connects securely for an authentic sound.

      Designed for Life

      As with the rest of the AX Series, AXR100 shares our house-style of Lunar Grey minimalist fascia, black steel cabinet and ‘floating’ base. This timeless look allows for an upgrade path through our range. A relatively slim build, in the classic 430mm hi-fi width, also means that AXR100 can easily slot into a much-loved system.

      Good sound, but BT problems and high floor noise

      Good sound. But there is some floor noise even 30 cm from speakers. Also a unit has a lot of problems with BT connection to Mac, when there is also a mouse connected to Mac. It seems that connection order is important (first axr, then mouse). Otherwise sound just keep breaking up. I got replacement unit, and at first I tought that it was ok, but I figured out that BT later on.
      So maybe with firmware upgrade BT would be ok. That background floor noise is just not something I expected.

      It was exactly what I was looking for.

      This unit is exactly what I was looking for in features and more importantly sound quality. I have paired it with the Elac Debut DF62 floor standers. The combination is very magical. I listen to a very wide variety of music from classical to EDM and everything in between and the performance of this receiver is without pear. Over the last 45 years I have owned a huge selection of audio gear. Some of it from super high end companies. This combination gives me as much or more pleasure than most of my past systems. I am so impressed with the sound of the AXR100. It is smooth, detailed and when called for hugely dynamic. The soundstage is deep, wide and very spacious with great instrument placement. It has surprised me on a number of occasions with it soundstage prowess. It handles all my sources with ease. PS, The phono stage is really good also! The best thing I can say is that I can listen to the AXR100 for hours and hours without fatigue. It encourages me to listen to more music longer and is capable of giving me goose bumps. Very pleased with this purchase.

      So much better than anything else for the price!

      I went into this purchase with good, not great, expectations. I have always liked the warmer side of neutral when listening. I was coming from a vintage set of nakamichi amps that sounded fantastic. The old naks gave out on me, so I decided to jump on this. WOW! This amp sounds every bit as good and better than the naks, with tighter bass and more separation. The soundstage and imaging are great for an amp this price! This feels and sounds like an amp 3 times as much. I needed a phono input, this has a great phono stage. Everyone that has listened to it has been impressed. I have done multiple 4 hour listening sessions and I do not get ear fatigue at all..if you are on a budget and are looking to enter the audiophile game do not hesitate on this amp.

      Great Value

      I have had this receiver for almost a week now. First thing I noticed was the build quality of the metal cover is much sturdier then any receiver I have ever owned. The set up was an easy process. Functions on the front as well as the remote are good. Sound is warm and full. Very natural and neutral sounding. I am using Tekton Reference Lore speakers with an Outlaw Audio powered sub. I added an external DAC for my apple products. I really have no complaints. I am very happy with this product so far.
