About this gear

The EAR V-12 is a hand-built tube integrated amplifier from Tim de Paravicini, using an unusual quasi push-pull output stage built around EL519 valves to deliver unusually high power for a tube design. It's aimed at listeners who want the harmonic richness of valve amplification without sacrificing the drive needed for less efficient speakers, delivering a robust, musical, and slightly warm presentation rather than a lean or clinical one.
