Despite the fact that development is constantly
moving in the direction of digital audio format
and towards audio video systems with an increa-
sing number of channels, high quality stereo
systems still enjoy a large degree of popularity.
Some users are put off by the installation of com-
plex multi-channel systems and enjoy viewing
DVD films in stereo. Other music enthusiasts do
not want to switch to a surround sound system
because that will never reach the sound quality of
an equally prized High-End stereo system. Those
who wish to combine both worlds – surround
sound and premium stereo –, can often not avoid
having two separate amplifiers and/or receivers,
because many multi-channel systems focus on
functionality rather than on uncompromised sound
quality for all audio channels. If that is to be avoi-
ded and the speakers of an existing stereo system
are also required to serve as front speakers for a
surround sound system (so that a separate pair of
front speakers does not need to be acquired), then
both systems must be coupled together. For most
setups that is not possible. Only if a stereo ampli-
fier is used, which has the function for one of its
inputs to act only as a power amplifier, and hence
provides no audio gain to this input, can the ste-
reo system be employed as a user friendly part of
a surround sound system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The SV-232 is a versatile integrated stereo ampli-
fier from the Vincent range. Like the previously
released amplifier Vincent SV-234 it can serve
both as an amplifier for high quality stereo sour-
ces and then, at the push of a button, it becomes
a stereo main amplifier (for example for the front
speakers of a home cinema system). This is a
function rarely seen in the class of this amplifier.
The same is true for the ability of this amplifier to
switch two pairs of connected loudspeakers sepa-
rately from the front panel. Additional features are
a recording output and a preamplifier output.
Naturally, it all comes with the highest quality
workmanship and an outstanding price perfor-
mance ratio.
This integrated amplifier is an ideal partner for
DVD players, CD players, tuners, headphone
amplifiers and speakers from Vincent. It can also
form part of a Vincent multi-channel system based
on a decoder preamplifier or on an AV amplifier.
In this role it supports the "Power Control" functi-
on. In combination with Vincent loudspeakers,
HiFi furniture and speaker cables, one can build a
perfectly harmonious system.
