The new JBL SA550 is powerful integrated amp that features vintage styling harking back to the '60s and '70s complete with wood side panels and matte silver finish. Plus, the SA550 blends analog technology with modern digital processing to satisfy your retro or your futuristic musical whims.
The SA550 is the perfect match not just sonically, but also visually thanks to the walnut finish of both the amplifier and the speakers.You get plenty of power to drive most speakers, but there's a stereo preamp output for adding a more powerful amplifier down the road.
The Class G amplification provides super-clean Class A performance at low levels (initial 20 watts), and it uses efficient "rail-switching" technology to bring in a higher power supply with low distortion when necessary for more demanding dynamic peaks (Class AB).
