When Pro-Ject Decided Amplifiers Should Sound Like Music

Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded in Austria in 1991 by Heinz Lichtenegger with a bold belief: that high-end sound should be accessible to everyone. What began as a turntable company has grown into a global force operating in over 80 countries with more than 5,000 dealers. Every Pro-Ject product is designed in Austria and manufactured in Europe, carrying forward a tradition of precision engineering rooted in one of the world's most musically rich cultures.

The Amplifier That Thinks It's a Tube

Pro-Ject's engineers use the warm, liquid sound of classic tube amplifiers as their sonic benchmark for every amplifier they build. The Amp Box DS2 delivers on that promise with a lush, inviting character that sounds far more expensive than its price suggests. A sophisticated four-layer PCB shortens signal paths compared to its predecessor, lowering noise and distortion while preserving the spacious, natural presentation that makes this amplifier special. The result is engaging, full-bodied sound with genuine low-end authority.

160 Watts from a Box Smaller Than Most Books

• Power: 160 watts RMS per channel into 4 ohms from a highly efficient Class D output stage means this compact amplifier drives demanding speakers with real control and dynamic impact
• Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 50 kHz ensures nothing in your music is left behind -- from the deepest bass to the most delicate overtones
• Noise Floor: Better than -90 dB keeps the background dead silent so every detail in your recordings comes through
• Chassis: Aluminum and metal sandwich construction damps vibration and rejects electromagnetic interference
• Trigger System: 12V trigger input and output lets you daisy-chain DS2 components for seamless on/off control across your entire system

Sound That Fills the Room and Holds Your Attention

The Amp Box DS2 delivers a presentation that is spacious, dynamic, and remarkably refined for its size. Bass is tight and controlled with genuine weight behind it. Midrange vocals carry warmth and texture without ever sounding thick or congested. The top end sparkles with detail but never tips into harshness -- a hallmark of Pro-Ject's tube-inspired voicing philosophy. Whether you are driving efficient bookshelf speakers or more demanding floor-standers, this amplifier responds with authority and finesse.

What the Critics Heard

Cliff Joseph awarded the DS2 amplifier combination Hi-Fi News magazine's Outstanding Product Award, praising its precision handling of complex choral music and noting a remarkable sense of space.

Hi-Fi World's reviewers described the DS2 system's sound as delivering finely-etched detail with an analog warmth that made listening deeply engaging.

Barely Broken In -- Less Than 10 Hours

This demo unit has seen fewer than 10 hours of use and shows absolutely no signs of wear. It looks and performs exactly like a factory-fresh unit. You get the full manufacturer's warranty, original packaging, external power supply, and AC cord. At demo pricing, this is a rare chance to own a critically acclaimed European power amplifier that punches far above its weight class.

Why Smart Listeners Are Jumping on This

The Amp Box DS2 earned professional accolades and an Outstanding Product Award competing against components costing significantly more. At full retail it was already considered a high-end bargain. At this demo price, with near-zero hours and full warranty protection, the value is exceptional. You are getting European design, European manufacturing, and tube-inspired sound at a price that simply does not come around often.

This combination of condition, warranty, and savings will not last -- add to cart now.
