History: The U-300 by Aavik Acoustics was created by dream team Michael Borresen and Lars Kristensen, is handbuilt in Denmark.

U-300s are incredibly musical, providing a world class soundstage, ultra low noise floor, highest realism and dynamics to die for.
Unlike so many other brands, they are a joy to operate and provide a tube like fluid musicality, contradicting everything we believed about digital amplifiers.
With the U-300 AAVIK made its stellar debut in the crowded amplifier scene and rose quickly to fame with new intelligent design choices.

Don Saltzman wrote the following at the Absolute Sound: “After living with the U-300 for over three months, I still look forward to every listening session and am still discovering subtle nuances in old recordings I thought I knew well. I get goosebumps at almost every session.

Fun bonuses that don’t affect the sound: It’s nice to turn on the whole system with a single switch; it’s refreshing not to have to turn on the air-conditioning every time I play the system for more than an hour; it’s a pleasure to only need a few cables and power cords to hook up the entire system.

To answer my own question, I believe the U-300 offers enormous value, even at $30,000. When considering the combined cost of separates that are truly competitive with the Aavik, the U-300 is a relative bargain in today’s high-end scene.

To my way of thinking, the U-300 is a game-changer in the high-end industry. It is now possible to think about state-of-the-art performance for all necessary electronics in a single, very stylish box. The U-300 welcomes with open arms almost any speakers, not just monitors or high-sensitivity models. I hope some of you take or make the opportunity to audition the U-300. I think you’ll be impressed.”
