Has anyone heard Lavardin IS
 

I need a small quality integrated for my patio system. I want something with a small footprint and no bells and whistles. The Lavardin IS sounds like it would fit the bill. No much info online but what is out there is positive.
Your thoughts appreciated.

Call me tomorrow or Monday. I have a local friend who has one in his 2nd system.

I've heard model IT with bookshelf speakers Usher.
Awesome amp.
Ironically that was exactly same amp which I intended to buy 2 years ago. ))

Dale.......Looks like an interesting integrated amplifier. I had not heard of it before this thread, but it seems to be well appreciated by owners and the audio publications. Is 30 watts going to be enough power for your application?

Hi Dan, I think 30 watts is fine. I have a pair of James Loudspeaker custom built 2 way outdoor speakers with 2- 6" drivers and quad tweeter array. 95db @ 8 ohms. I have tried my little Leben 300xs integrated with them and it sounds fantastic. Right now I use a Bryston B60 and it works well but I have to shuffle it back and forth to the motorhome for holidays and that's a pain, so I need another integrated.

It is a nice little amp, although it is not a value for money champ IMO.

I would consider Modwright integrated ($5500) if I was shopping in that price range.

I am looking at the IS model. I'm trying to find pricing but I believe it to be in the $3000 range
