There’s some wonderful design work going on in the world of high-end audio and AV right now. Not only have we recently been treated to a stunner of a receiver from Marantz in the form of theCinema 30, but British brand Chord Electronics has unleashed a beast of a Ultima Integrated stereo amplifier that’s rather pretty, too.
Previously debuted in 2023, the amp is now available globally, priced at £8,500 in the UK.
There’s a single stereo XLR output.

The chassis is made from precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminium and is available in silver or black. The front features a spherical on/off power control with polychromatic lighting. Volume and balance dials sit either side.
The top of the unit can also light up, while also providing heat dissipation through its grille. And the system comes with an infra-red remote control.
