ROMY 20SE

Tube integrated amplifier including remote control

---

A single-ended integrated amplifier that shows its class even at critical loudspeaker loads

In the Romy 20SE, we have chosen a type of tube that is almost never found in other high-end amplifiers. The transmitting pentode introduced by Siemens in the 1960s under the designation RS1003 and later further developed by RFT as SRS551 is virtually predestined for audiophile purposes - provided one creates optimal working conditions for it in terms of circuitry. Which, to put it mildly, is no easy task. In the Romy 20SE, a pair of selected SRS551s mobilises a powerful 20 Class A2 watts in triode mode, which do not even drop to their knees at critical speaker loads and, thanks to an unusually high damping factor, always keep the woofer cones firmly under control.
