Ampino Monoblocks (with accompanying preamplifier), although part of Ampino series, share only name and format with the little integrated (and stereo power) amplifier. They are actually in completely different league and could be paired with very expensive speakers.
Owners of Monos are very happy how sensitive (in a positive sense) and revealing they are when it comes to pairing (with speakers, cables and preamps).
Ampino separates are very attractive and they can cope with very high tier speakers easily.
With two pairs of output transistors they can easily drive low impedance speakers or speakers with impedance dips.)
Paired with proper speakers Ampino Monos (especially custom version) can offer HighEnd sound in unconventional form factor.
Reviews & Testmonials
“I found the Ampino amplifiers to be well balanced, detailed, refined, and yet never boring or stodgy. These amps have the ability to engage the listener for extended period of time, and perform at a level that is typically reserved for products that sell for significantly more. …”
John Hoffman, Positive Feedback
“Anyways, Wow! With a good source, these amps rock!” AudioCircle Topic: Dayens Monoblocks
“Still loving my Ampino monos here in Western Massachusetts! Seen here with a passive pre, powering DeVore Fidelity Gibbon Super Nines. Thanks so much for the wonderful amplifiers!” Sam, USA (2023)
“I am glad that monoblocks are one of the best purchases I have made:)” Marcin, Poland (2024)
“The Serbian designed and built Dayens Ampino preamplifier and mono block amplifiers deliver a heck of a lot of good sound for their modest prices. The preamp is a no-nonsense clean sounding, transparent linestage, and the amplifiers will drive most speakers without breaking a sweat. Both sets of products do benefit from good cabling and proper placement.
It is always a pleasure to spend time with products made by small manufacturers who have a passion for building great sounding audio gear for sane, real world prices. Dayens fits that bill, and then some. For well under three grand, the Ampino preamp and mono amplifiers are a great find.“ AudioKeyREVIEWS
