Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier now also in White Silver

It is the “little one” of the Electrocompaniet Classis Line, the small stereo integrated amplifier, but at an astonishingly high level, both in terms of features and flexibility as well as sound, the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier. This is now also to be offered in a white version.


About a year ago the Norwegian high-end hi-fi company Electrocompaniet A/S presented a new stereo integrated amplifier of the so-called Electrocompaniet Classic Line, the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier. This was expressly designed as an entry-level solution, and was intended to enable the special world of high-end hi-fi to be penetrated by the Electrocompaniet A/S brand. The Norwegians promised not only impeccable equipment, so that the Electrocompaniet ECI-80D Integrated Amplifier can function extremely flexibly as the central interface of a fine HiFi system, but above all the legendary sound and unique aesthetics that have distinguished solutions from Electrocompaniet A/S for years and years.

Now this stereo integrated amplifier is to be offered in a new design variant, as up to now it was only available in the black colour typical for Norwegians. In September 2020 the company announced that the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier will also be available in a white version, albeit in a limited quantity as Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier White Silver.

According to Matthias Roth of MRV Audio, the German distributor of Electrocompaniet A/S, this special version is an offer to all those who are looking for an ideal control centre for all kinds of music sources and who are not so fond of the classic design. With the new design variant, a solution is available that is aimed at lovers of a particularly neutral appearance.

The Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier is a stereo integrated amplifier that delivers twice 80 watts of power in Class A/B to loudspeaker systems with an impedance of 8 ohms. The manufacturer promises that it has a tuning that carefully balances accurate bass response and control, detailed open mid-range and warm, clear treble, in the tradition of all the company’s amplifiers. Here too, the declared aim was to reproduce music exactly as it was recorded.

It has both analogue and digital inputs, with an integrated phono pre-amplifier added. This is designed for drives equipped with MM pickup systems. A Bluetooth module is also available here, whereby this is designed as a transceiver. This allows signals to be transmitted via Bluetooth not only from smartphones, tablets or portable audio players, but Bluetooth headphones can also be integrated.

With dimensions of 470 x 262 x 90 mm, the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier is a very compact solution, yet weighs 8 kg.

The new white version of the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier is available now. However, this is a limited quantity, so that a decision should be made quickly. The recommended retail price for the Electrocompaniet ECI 80D Integrated Amplifier in white is € 2.500,-, which is almost the same as for the black version.
