It’s almost laughably dynamic, making many amps we think of as dynamic sound a little flat and boring by comparison.


Reviews
The Reference 160 S steps up to the challenge of its own kin brilliantly. That’s part of what marks out a ‘great’ product from one that is merely ‘good’. And the Audio Research Reference 160 S really is great!

This Audio Research combo—the Reference 6 preamplifier and the Reference 160 S amplifier—combined gorgeous tone with physicality: horsehair on gut, hammer on strings, soft wood buzzing in brass, the harshness of spat vocals or an intentionally scratchy violin. I didn't know that so much of the music in my collection possessed so much tonal beauty.
