The Accuphase E-700 is a pure Class-A integrated amplifier that represents the very best of what Accuphase can achieve in a single chassis. Succeeding the beloved E-650, the E-700 inherits the power amplifier architecture from the flagship E-800S — a four-fold parallel push-pull configuration of power MOS-FETs — delivering 35 watts per channel into 8 ohms in pure Class A operation, doubling perfectly into 4 and 2 ohms.

Do not let the modest wattage fool you. With a damping factor of 1,000 and the ability to deliver 160 watts into 1 ohm loads, the E-700 will grip and control virtually any loudspeaker you pair it with. The fully balanced signal path from input to output, combined with the new Balanced AAVA volume control and ANCC noise-cancelling technology, achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 103dB — pure silence between the notes. Class A means the output transistors are always on, always ready. No crossover distortion, no compromise. The trade-off is heat — the E-700 runs warm and draws around 178 watts from the wall whether playing or idle. This is by design.

The reward is a sound of extraordinary purity, warmth, and musical engagement. Two rear panel expansion slots accept the optional DAC-60 digital input board or AD-60 phono stage, making the E-700 a complete system hub. This is an amplifier you build a lifetime system around. At just under 25kg of precision engineering, the E-700 is Accuphase Class A distilled to its essence. 

Review Excerpts
"The E-700 has authority, power, dynamics, rhythmic energy, and grip while offering subtlety and inner detail where it is needed." — The Absolute Sound "Bass is tight, deep and melodic... vocals are open, well focused and articulate. This is a calm, controlled, and deeply musical amplifier." — Hi-Fi+ "A cost-no-object work at an affordable price... a standard of excellence not seen in most brands." — AudioKey Reviews
