RS-101 Stereo Power Amplifier

Lifelike performance

Complementary to the RL-101 Line Stage, the RS-101 is a power amplifier without compromise. Our engineers have taken the musical engine of the RI-101 integrated amplifier to an entirely new level. Just as comfortable translating the dramatic impact of a full-scale orchestra into a lifelike performance as it is recreating an intimate jazz trio performance, the RS-101 is the ideal introduction to the world of Vitus Audio.

Experience audio without colouration, with dark backgrounds and get closer to the performance with 300 W per channel at 8Ω loads and 600 W at 4Ω loads. And experience the finesse and delicacy of every instrument with the RS-101’s intelligent Class A bias.

Reference for a reason

We save the final word on this amp for Stereo Times reviewer Dave Thomas who said of this amplifiers predecessor the RS-100;

“Even though these components may represent Vitus Audio’s “entry level” they are called “Reference Series” for good reason. The quality of design and construction are first rate and sonically they give you a massive portion of what you get from their larger, more expensive siblings.”

Finishing

The RS-101 comes in Jet Black or Warm Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular unique finishes.
