Actually we’re scientists ...
... as T+A stands for Theory and Application in the field of audio technology. That means we devise, create and fine-tune Hi-Fi components of the highest quality, with the aim of developing fully mature High-End products for our customers all over the world. We have been based in Herford, Eastern Westphalia, since 1978, and that is the hub of our development and practical work. The design briefs for our products include no restrictions, and no expense or effort is too great in our endeavour to achieve sonic perfection. The typical characteristics of our products speak for themselves: extremely long product cycles, extended useful life, and comprehensive retro-fit facilities make a T+A system more than just a music system - it's an investment for the future.

PA 2500 R - INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
Twice as tall, higher output power and even more connection facilities – the PA 2500 R exceeds the specification of the PA 2000 R in many areas, but its character in terms of sound quality is in no way inferior to its smaller sibling. This by no means goes without saying, because very powerful amplifiers often forfeit the finer points of dynamics and detail tracery. Our PA 2500 R integrated amplifier circumvents this danger: its basic circuit is the same as that of the PA 2000 R, and even the circuit board layouts are identical. However, its heat-sinks are twice the size, and the case accommodates two of our new high-performance mains power supply units, with the result that it can deliver more than 260 Watts of continuous power per channel into 4 Ohms loudspeakers. The amplifier is therefore effortlessly capable of controlling speakers which are extremely critical in terms of phase and impedance.
The PA 2500 is even more powerful than the smaller machine, but retains exactly the same dynamism and cultured sound. The PA 2500 R is fitted with three professional symmetrical XLR inputs, of which one can be configured as Surround Pass Through, four high-quality Cinch inputs (RCA), symmetrical (XLR) and asymmetrical (RCA) pre-amplifier output sockets, and two pairs of loudspeaker outputs with heavy-duty terminals machined from ultra-pure non-magnetic brass with rhodium-plated contact surfaces. A headphone socket is present on the front panel.
