ROGERS E40AII LE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER LAUNCHED AS A LIMITED EDITION

Only ten units will be available of this piece of audiophile history as Rogers announces a strictly-limited edition of the Rogers E40AiiLE integrated amplifier.

While working at Audio Note, Rogers’ Head of Design unearthed a handful of chassis transformers and PCB’s for this amplifier. “They were just sitting in AudioNote’s store room”, says Andy Whittle, “and it was too good an opportunity to pass up.”

VINTAGE ROGERS

Rogers distributor Retrotone, based in Sittingbourne, bought the components and set about assembling all the parts needed to re-create this classic Rogers E40A from the ’90s. The striking Burgundy finish was chosen to make reference to the vintage Rogers amplifiers from the 1960s.
