K2 Integrated Amplifier

K2 integrated is designed and refined to what would be expected of amplifiers classified as hi-end and costing twice its price. The new K2 sounds far more accurate, more delicate and even more powerful than its award winning predecessor the Kandy L.III. True dynamics and musical capabilities of the K2 enhance the enjoyment and provide insight to all types of music. The sound stage and musicians have the realistic ‘sound’ and ‘air’ about them that is achieved by the highest class amplifiers around.

Thanks to its superior design and use of highest quality components, the K2 sets a new standard for true hi-end entry level amplification. The new K2 integrated benefits from totally revised amplifier internals. The mains transformer and amplifier’s 3 AC/DC circuitry are now separated and moved to two sides away from the pre and amplifier main circuits thus dramatically reducing noise interference. After rectification circuitry, the power supply layout, distribution and tracking to different sections of the amplifier have been optimised and internal wiring minimised to ensure all sections work at their best.

“The Roksan Kandy L.III is easily the most musical of the bunch: it's the most effective communicator by far, by virtue of the information it manages to scavenge and the slick, perfectly ordered yet easy manner in which it presents it ... Throughout the review I never once heard it issue signs of distress or falter when the music became challenging. ”

“The new Kandy sounds spectacular...we sweated buckets of blood trying to make the Kandy LIII uncomfortable, but without success - it's a true all-rounder, excelling with every type of music you play through it ”

“Try as we might - well, thats part of our job - we couldnt trip up the Kandy: ...(It is) the best sub-1000 pounds integrated amplifiers we've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
The Result: There is only one winner - Roksan. ”
