Having started my audio journey with brands like Aragon and Acurus in the 1980s and 1990s, I have followed the rebirth of both brands with great interest. The ownership team is new and the Indianapolis-based company has created an impressive mix of power amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and AV preamps that offer reference quality performance.
We reviewed the Acurus MUSE AV Processor with the Theory Audio Design 5.2.2 Home Theater System and the combination delivered on every level; clarity, tonal accuracy, dynamic impact, and one of the most immersive home theater experiences I have ever enjoyed at home.
The interface, sound quality, flexibility, and value for the money even at $20,000 was most evident.
The Acurus lineup is not inexpensive but the company has managed to consistently deliver excellent products that make it easier to build out a dedicated home theater space or multi-room system at home.
Designed and built in the USA, the Acurus M4 is the latest innovation from Acurus demonstrating its never-ending commitment to uncompromising audio purity, precision, and craftsmanship.
The new 2RU product is a 4-channel, bridgeable, 200-watt Class D amplifier that has multiple applications; one can use this to drive four channels in a home theater system or four different loudspeakers in a multi-room scenario.
With ultra-low noise and distortion, the M4 harnesses the power of Class D amplification to transport listeners to the heart of their favorite music and movies.
The Acurus M4 offers trigger, IR, RS-232 and Ethernet control options, ensuring seamless control integration into any size system.
Ted Moore, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Acurus, emphasized the company’s vision for the M4 Amplifier: “At Acurus, we’ve always strived to create audio equipment that transcends the ordinary. The M4 is the latest in our dedication to perfection in sound reproduction. The M4 is designed to bring music and cinematic experiences to life in a way that’s simply extraordinary, while also providing incredible layout flexibility for our customers”
The Acurus M4 finds its perfect match in the M8, a 200-watt 8-channel amplifier, and the Muse 16-channel processor. This powerful trio empowers audio enthusiasts and professionals alike to craft immersive and breathtaking soundscapes, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in audio reproduction.
Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are at the core of every Acurus product, and the M4 is no exception. Backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty, Acurus proudly stands by the quality of construction and craftsmanship that goes into each amplifier.
The Acurus M4 will be available in November 2023 at $4,500 USD.
