perreaux ampThe 250i is Perreaux’s most powerful, most sophisticated integrated amplifier. It’s performance and specifications are truly impressive, but hearing the 250i is when you will truly appreciate the quality engineering, design and craftsmanship. The 250i is the most advanced integrated amplifier Perreaux has ever produced.


The Perreaux 250i amp is designed to handle difficult speaker loads with ease. With it’s high powered MOSFET design, the 250i is capable of continuously delivering a genuine 320Wrms into an 8Ω load and a huge 500Wrms into 4Ω.
