zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Built to exactly match the Avantone CLA-10 studio monitors, this fanless, high-output power amplifier is ideal for driving a pair of passive studio speakers.

The Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is a classically designed Class A/B amplifier. Avantone took particular care to create an amplifier in the traditional studio style, with generous VU meters, high quality Japanese components and a serious toroidal transformer linear power supply. In a standard 2U rack mount chassis, this amplifier can generate over 200 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load, making it perfect for medium to large speakers in a studio environment. The CLA200 is convection cooled -- no fan noise, so it can be used in the same room as the monitors.


Take a look inside Chris Lord-Alge's studio in our exclusive interview:


The CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is designed to be used in a studio environment requiring high power output with no fan noise. Under testing, it delivers a powerful 208 watts into 8 ohms and can run at one-third power without thermal fault.

The CLA-200 was designed to be paired with the CLA-10 studio monitors, but it can be used with just about any demanding speaker load. Very low distortion, steady performance under harsh conditions, and an open and transparent sound make this an obvious choice for discerning studios.

The Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is a dynamic, high output, high resolution, full-range system built the old school way. Avantone included no-compromise components in a 2U convection cooled chassis to complement the CLA-10 Studio Reference Monitors. Of course, it can be used with any passive… read more studio monitor requiring serious dynamic range.

I always go back and forth with the Yamaha ns10's but this time after selling my own pair a couple years ago I decided to repurchase them but this time I found a really great pair in a pro commercial recording studio so when I went to pick them up I tried them out on a pro studio environment and they were hooked up to a bryston 4b amp and they sounded like the great mid forward detail that these speakers are meant for now why the back story because this time I wanted to get that clear mid forward ns10 sound and multiple studio owners always told me that you get that with a bryston amp but a good studio owner buddy of mine said to give the Avantone CLA200 a shot that they will sound just like it were hooked up to a bryston amp and will give the ns10's the power and clarity that they need well let me tell you after listening to them myself with the bryston amp at the commercial studio where I purchased them I knew what they sounded like so I went ahead and purchased the Avanton CLA200 and hooked everything up and when I opened up a session that was ready to be mixed BOOOM there it was the same clear mid forward image that these classics spit out they're not for everyone but if you're in the market for a pair this amp will take care of business and wont disappoint. hope this review helps someone that might be in that situation on deciding if this amp works well with the ns10's.
