We are proud to share that the AVM AS 5.3 Integrated Streaming Amplifier has received an outstanding review from HomeTheaterHifi, further reinforcing its position as one of the most complete high-performance streaming amplifiers available today.

In the comprehensive evaluation, the AS 5.3 was recognized for its exceptional build quality, elegant industrial design, and powerful sonic performance. Delivering 350 watts per channel into 4 ohms, the amplifier was praised for its authority, control, and ability to drive demanding loudspeakers with ease.

Particular attention was given to the unit’s sophisticated hybrid design, which combines a high-performance Class D power stage with AVM’s tube-based line stage. The result, according to the review, is a presentation that balances precision and musical warmth—offering detailed, fatigue-free listening across a wide range of genres.

“The AVM AS 5.3 can rock with the best equipment I have reviewed before. It has the power to make almost any speaker sing, and the sound was never harsh or muddy. Clear sound that remains effortless and musical. I can see the AVM AS 5.3 as a central hub for your musical listening for years to come. It is not inexpensive, but it looks stunning and sounds equally exquisite as well.”

The publication also highlighted the amplifier’s comprehensive connectivity and streaming platform. Featuring AVM’s proprietary X-Stream Engine®, the AS 5.3 supports leading high-resolution services and includes HDMI ARC, MM/MC phono input, multiple digital and analog connections, and seamless app control—making it a true all-in-one centerpiece for modern two-channel systems.
