Audio Resurgence KRAKEN INTEGRATED AR6A (Remote Ready Version)

Pure Class-A Integrated Amplifier — British-Built Musical Authenticity

The Audio Resurgence KRAKEN INTEGRATED AR6A is a truly exceptional Class-A stereo integrated amplifier designed for music lovers who demand transparency, emotional engagement, and effortless musical flow. A modern interpretation of a revered British classic, the AR6A brings a soul-stirring listening experience to discerning audiophiles, marrying legacy-inspired design with practical performance for today’s systems.

Supplied as standard with a dual external power supply configuration, the AR6A is designed to deliver a refined and engaging musical experience while providing the flexibility for future remote functionality. This Remote Ready version allows owners to upgrade to remote operation at a later stage, offering the convenience of enhanced control when desired without compromising the amplifier’s core design philosophy.

At its heart, the AR6A is a Class-A amplifier — a topology celebrated for its organic, continuous output and incomparable linearity. The circuit design pays homage to the original Alchemist Products amplifiers of the late 20th century, retaining the core philosophy of “add nothing, get out of the way” — letting the music speak with clarity and conviction.

Musicality Above All

Unlike high-gain, specification-driven amplifiers that impress on paper, the AR6A focuses on the listening experience. The sonic presentation is open, textured, and engaging, with exceptional microdynamic response and natural rhythmic energy that draws you into your favourite recordings. Voices feel alive, instruments have palpable presence, and long listening sessions are effortless and fatigue-free.

Refined Control and Connectivity

Dual Power Supply: Supplied exclusively with dual external power supplies, the AR6A is configured for listeners seeking refined performance, with a design intended to support a quiet background and confident dynamic control.

Remote Ready: The AR6A is prepared for a future remote-control upgrade. Owners can choose to add remote functionality at a later stage, providing a flexible upgrade path without the need to select a remote-enabled version at the point of purchase. Remote functionality is not included as standard.

Balanced Power: Delivers over 50 W RMS into 8 ohms of pure Class-A output — enough to drive a wide range of speakers with authority and finesse.

Precision Scaling: With an input sensitivity of 200 mV for maximum output, the AR6A integrates effortlessly with common line-level sources.

Extended Bandwidth: A broad frequency response from 10 Hz to 64 kHz (–3 dB) ensures exceptional resolution across the audible spectrum and beyond.

Low Noise and Distortion: Achieves residual noise under 1 mV and distortion below 1% THD at 15 V output, creating a serene backdrop for music to unfold without distraction.

Thoughtful Control Layout: Coaxial volume and input selector knobs minimise signal path length, reducing potential artefacts and preserving purity.

Tailored to Your System

The KRAKEN INTEGRATED AR6A is now supplied exclusively with dual external power supplies, with the single PSU configuration discontinued as of September 2026.

For vinyl enthusiasts, an optional moving-magnet phono stage is available, bringing analogue warmth and detail to your turntable setup.

The Remote Ready configuration offers an additional layer of flexibility, allowing remote operation to be added as a future upgrade. This approach preserves the AR6A’s essential simplicity while giving owners the freedom to enhance convenience when the time is right.

Built British, Built to Last

Hand-assembled in the UK with meticulous attention to detail, the Kraken AR6A reflects Audio Resurgence’s commitment to musical authenticity over superficial complexity. With its compact footprint (302 × 300 × 89 mm) and a nimble 3.9 kg chassis (without power supplies), this amplifier slots seamlessly into a refined hi-fi system without overpowering your living space.

Why It Matters

Audiophiles with a taste for genuine Class-A performance will appreciate how the AR6A brings rhythm, tone, and harmonic coherence to life — qualities that elevate everyday listening into a deeply personal experience.

Combining its distinctive British design heritage, standard dual external power supplies, and the flexibility of a future remote-control upgrade, the AR6A offers a compelling proposition for listeners who value musical authenticity, thoughtful engineering, and long-term ownership flexibility.
