Robb Report Names 91E Integrated Amplifier Best Audio Product of the Year (2023)

Robb Report , the internationally published luxury magazine, has named the 91E Integrated Amplifier among its top 40 best audio products of 2023. The 91E was recognized by Robb Report contributor Robert Ross as the “Best Two-Channel Integrated Amp,” describing it’s 300B powered sound as “a rich, multi-layered audio experience with sound as seductive as it is addictive.” The magazine reviews hundreds of the finest audio products in the world every year to publish the popular Audio Awards. Ross continues:

Extolling the sonic virtues of the 300B vacuum tube to someone unfamiliar with this amplification device is like explaining how a truffle is unlike any common mushroom. Just as that precious fungus is a gustatory revelation, an amplifier using the 300B offers a rich, multi-layered audio experience with sound as seductive as it is addictive. Western Electric invented the 300B in 1938, and the company, resurrected in 1996, soon began to remanufacture the legendary tube. The Western Electric 91E integrated amplifier is a SET (single-ended triode) design that delivers double the power of traditional 300B amps, and makes any but the most power-hungry loudspeakers sing to the heavens. The component’s exquisitely machined chassis reminds us that audio gear can be jewelry, too.
