Billie Integrated Stereo Amplifier | Features & Specs
Good Vibrations
Billie features a custom tube preamp, ICEpower amplification, ESS Hi-Res DAC, AptX Bluetooth, coax, optical, analog and phono inputs. At 215W per channel, there’s enough power to drive any speakers.
While many technological products are made with planned obsolescence in mind, Billie is designed to withstand the test of time. No matter where the technology goes, you will always have a reliable amp with relevant inputs.
Speaker Pairing: Billie pairs beautifully with most speakers with sensitivity of 85dB and above, and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. High impedance speakers, like the Zu DW6, are not recommended. For questions regarding speaker pairing and recommendations, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Proudly made in Montreal, Canada, Billie offers performance way beyond its price. Parts include a machined aluminium chassis and hand finished walnut knobs.
A 5-year warranty comes standard.
The features described herein are for the current model, Billie MK2. Billie MK1 specs can be found here.
