Advance Paris X-A160 EVO Stereo Power Amplifier

High-Current Stereo Power Amplifier • 160W/Ch into 8Ω • 240W/Ch into 4Ω • 700VA Toroidal Transformer • High-Bias Class A/AB • Balanced XLR & RCA Inputs

High-Current Stereo Power with Selectable Class A Bias

The Advance Paris X-A160 EVO Stereo Power Amplifier is designed for high-performance separates systems that need strong current delivery, dynamic control and a refined presentation. Rated at 160 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms and 240 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms, the X-A160 EVO provides the power required to drive a wide range of premium bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers.

Its substantial 700VA toroidal transformer works with very high-current NJW0281G and NJW0302G output transistors derived from Advance Paris’s higher-powered designs. A selectable High-Bias mode allows the amplifier to operate its first watts in Class A before automatically transitioning to Class AB as output demand increases, while balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs make integration with high-quality preamplifiers straightforward.

Highlights & Benefits

  • 160W Per Channel into 8 Ohms — Delivers substantial stereo power, increasing to 240 watts RMS per channel into 4-ohm loads.
  • 700VA Toroidal Transformer — A high-capacity power supply provides the current reserve needed for demanding loudspeakers and dynamic musical peaks.
  • High-Bias Class A/AB Operation — Selectable High-Bias mode allows the first watts to operate in Class A before automatically transitioning to Class AB.
  • High-Current Output Devices — NJW0281G and NJW0302G transistors provide strong current capability and controlled performance with difficult speaker loads.
  • Balanced & Unbalanced Inputs — Stereo XLR and RCA inputs support easy integration with a wide variety of audiophile preamplifiers.

Technology & Design

MAA 1000-Derived Output Devices — Advance Paris uses the same NJW0281G and NJW0302G high-current transistor family found in its larger power-amplifier designs to provide strong dynamics and loudspeaker control.

700VA Toroidal Power Supply — The oversized toroidal transformer gives both channels access to substantial current reserves for demanding music passages and lower-impedance loudspeakers.

Selectable High-Bias Circuit — A rear-panel switch increases output-stage bias so the first watts operate in Class A. At higher output levels, the amplifier automatically transitions into Class AB.

Compartmentalized Chassis Construction — The ultra-rigid internal structure separates key circuits to improve shielding and reduce unwanted interaction between power and signal sections.
