โ€When Perreaux founder Peter Perreaux announced the release of the first Perreaux GS 2002 integrated amplifier in 1974 he laid the foundation stone for a hi-fi brand synonymous with strength, reliability and longevity,” says the brand’s new CEO Edwin Nieman.

“Built tough and fully featured – the compact yet versatile stereo amplifier quickly established Perreaux as a manufacturer of high-quality, hand-made, precision audio products. Today, almost half a century later; the Perreaux team are again both excited and proud to officially announce the release of our latest integrated hi-fi amplifier: the stylish and powerful Perreaux 200iX.
