Apex Audio Distribution announces  Fezz Olympia Series

Fezz has launched the Olympia Series – a new line of integrated and power amplifiers that combine cutting-edge technology, refined craftsmanship and Fezz’s signature sound quality to deliver a listening experience for audiophiles and music enthusiasts.

The Olympia Series represents a bold step forward in amplifier design, claims the manufacturer, featuring meticulously engineered components, elegant aesthetics and a focus on pure, immersive sound. The series includes two standout models: the Olympia Integrated Amplifier and the Olympia Power Amplifier. 

The Olympia EVO is a dual-mono integrated vacuum tube amplifier featuring eight KT88 tubes. This amplifier comes fully equipped with an array of options for maximum convenience. The newly designed remote control enables volume adjustment, source selection and power on/off functionality. 

A handy standby mode and a two-minute pre-heating cycle optimise operating conditions and extend tube lifespan. 

The Olympia EVO also features an optional equipment card slot, allowing for future expansions such as Bluetooth connectivity, a phono stage or a DAC. Its advanced electronic tube protection system replaces traditional glass fuses, enhancing reliability and safeguarding the vacuum tube circuitry. 

The automatic bias adjustment system ensures consistent performance, eliminating the need for manual fine-tuning. Additionally, the dual-mono design creates exceptional stereo imaging and an expansive soundstage. 

Dynamic response and tonal accuracy are optimised to bring recordings to life, combining warmth, clarity and the charm of classic tube sound. 

The Fezz Olympia EVO Mono is the brand’s first fully balanced mono power amplifier. Powered by a specially designed microprocessor-controlled bias system, it delivers over 150W per channel using four KT88 tubes in a parallel push-pull configuration. 

This advanced system simplifies operation, enhances reliability and reportedly ensures consistent performance.

Maciej Lachowski from Fezz notes, “We recognised the need for a more powerful integrated amplifier. While our Titania model delivers 2x45W, some users sought greater output. The Olympia, boasting 2x100W of power, effortlessly drives any speaker on the market. This makes it one of the most powerful integrated tube amplifiers available. 

“We aimed to offer this high-end performance at a competitive price. Comparing the Olympia to other integrated tube amplifiers with similar 100W output, you’ll typically find price tags 2.5 times higher. 

“Furthermore, the Olympia prioritises user convenience. Standard features include a tube cage, remote control, subwoofer output and a home theatre (pre-in) input. An extra slot allows for easy expansion with optional modules for Bluetooth, DAC, and MM phono stage.” 

The Olympia Series will be available through Fezz’s authorised dealers. Pricing for the Olympia Integrated Amplifier starts at £5,495 inc VAT, while the Olympia Power Amplifier begins at £9,995 inc VAT.
