Smooth top-end and excellent bottom end across the frequency spectrum. The LS17 SE maintains the same physical size as its predecessor. The only cosmetic difference is the
updated front panel which replaces the black plastic buttons with round metal buttons, complementing
the symmetry of the two control knobs flanking the LED display. The display shows volume as well as
which input is selected. Front panel controls include power, monitor, mute and processor (pass through).
All functions are also accessible via the included handheld remote, and discrete remote codes are available
for programming universal-style controllers. Handles finish the understated elegance of the overall appearance. Internally the LS17 SE builds on the architecture of the LS17 and adds SE upgrades to provide exceptional
performance. New Teflon coupling capacitors as well as other internal performance enhancements combine to
create a preamplifier offering greater detail, spatial cues and dynamic breadth. Two 6H30 twin triodes are at the
heart of the Class A audio circuit. A custom designed power transformer provides serious current delivery. In concert,
the components of the LS17 SE create a sound that will truly delight the listener – this is a preamplifier dedicated to
delivering a great musical experience. If you are shopping for a high-quality line stage the Audio Research LS17 SE doesn’t just reinforce its benchmark status

or credit card out faster than you can say, “Yes sir, I’ll take it.” Domestic Shipping to Lower 48 States: $68 (Flat Fee Fed Ex Ground) International Shipping: $285 (Flat Fee to Anywhere Else in the World)
