Advance Paris X-i75 Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Where the Classic Line Starts

The Advance Paris X-i75 is the entry point to the company's Classic Line, designed in France. For the money it carries more than most rivals do: a converter, a phono stage, a headphone output and a subwoofer output, all in the one chassis.

Power is 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms, rising to 110 watts into 4 ohms. That covers most bookshelf and floorstanding speakers without strain, which is the honest measure of whether an amplifier at this level is enough.

The Hi-Bias Switch

A Hi-Bias switch on the amplifier shifts how the output stage is biased, which changes the character of the sound. It is a real control rather than a marketing line, and it is worth trying both settings once the system is together.

A Front Panel Worth Looking At

The face is deep black glass with a single large aluminum knob in the middle. It shares its design language with the X-P700 preamplifier, so a system built from the range looks deliberate rather than assembled.

Everything Already Inside

The converter handles digital sources without another box. The phono stage takes a turntable straight in. The headphone output is on the front, and the subwoofer output is on the back for when the room asks for more bottom end.

That combination is the argument for the X-i75. Most amplifiers at this price make you choose two of those four, and buying the missing ones separately costs more than the difference.

Who Is This Integrated Amplifier Best For?

• You want everything in one box — converter, phono stage, headphone output and subwoofer output are all fitted, which is rare at this price and saves buying them separately.
• You play records — the phono stage is built in, so a turntable connects directly with no extra box and no extra cable in the path.
• Your speakers are ordinary rather than extreme — 75 watts into 8 ohms and 110 into 4 drives most bookshelf and floorstanding pairs without running out.
• You like to adjust by ear — the Hi-Bias switch changes how the output stage runs, so the amplifier has two characters rather than one.
• The X-i75 has no network streaming — Tidal or Qobuz reach it through something connected to its inputs. Add one from our music streamers.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

A turntable goes straight to the phono input, and digital sources to the built-in converter. Line-level sources use the analog inputs, and headphones plug into the front panel.

Speakers connect to the binding posts. The subwoofer output on the back is there when a room needs more low end than a pair of speakers can give it on their own.

Pairs Well With

Building your system? Here are some great companions:

• Speakers: 75 watts a channel suits most rooms — see our Floorstanding Speakers.
• Turntable: The phono stage is already fitted — browse our Turntables.
• Streamer: To bring the network to it — see our Music Streamers.
• Subwoofer: There is an output for one — see our Subwoofers.

Frequently Asked Questions
