The PA 2000 R integrated amplifier is a testament to the expertise of T+A in crafting compact, high-power output devices with excellent sound quality. It boasts an impressive delivery, marked by its dynamic, powerful, and incisive performance attributes. This performance is largely due to its highly linear output stages, which are innovatively designed with very low negative feedback, and a sophisticated new mains power supply system created specifically for audio devices. This power system maintains stability under load without risk of collapsing, even during extreme peak levels; thus, the PA 2000 R is capable of pushing a continuous 200 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms loudspeakers. It also successfully drives impedance-critical speakers while retaining comprehensive control over the output.

Incorporating gas-tight gold-contact relays, the amplifier switches loudspeakers, inputs, and internal signal circuits with impeccable precision and without any loss. The build accommodates tone controls for each channel and includes a selection to completely bypass these controls along with the loudness function. Adding to its versatility, the PA 2000 R supports an optional audiophile phono pre-amplifier module that can accommodate either MM or MC cartridges. These enhancements affirm its adaptability for audiophiles seeking refined customization of their audio experience. Furthermore, the amplifier can be seamlessly integrated into a surround sound system and includes a Surround Pass Through mode, which is activated by a trigger signal, ensuring it complements any sophisticated home audio setup.
