Who They Are
Perreaux isn’t “another hi-fi brand.” It’s a New Zealand original bespoke, state-of-the-art, audiophile-class electronics designed, engineered, and manufactured in Dunedin since 1974.
Their story begins with the kind of product that becomes folklore: the legendary GS 2002 Class A integrated amplifier, the spark that launched decades of serious amplification for music lovers who don’t do “good enough.” Perreaux builds components that feel inevitable in a premium system quiet backgrounds, confident control, and a sense of musical authority
Their Technology: Engineered to disappear so the music takes over.
True audiophile pedigree, audible engineering advantages, and modern convenience wrapped in a luxury feel and a story with real history behind it. Built in New Zealand since 1974, with a relentless focus on audible engineering: high-current power supplies, low-noise signal paths, and advanced output stages (including Power MOSFET designs on key amplifiers) that deliver effortless dynamics, tight speaker control, and a naturally expansive soundstage.
Modern control, old-school soul
Perreaux pairs classic “audiophile engineering” with modern usability app control, IR remotes, Bluetooth streaming, home-theatre input, and integrated DAC/phono options on key models so your clients can live in the real world and hear the magic.
Technology that translates into audible value
- Power MOSFET output stages and high-current design deliver grip, dynamics, and low distortion exactly what customers hear as “effortless” sound.
- Fully-balanced architectures (where it matters) reduce noise and unlock scale ideal for high-end sources and long cable runs in real dealer installs.
A standout example: VP4 “BLACK mode” uses an integrated lithium power cell to create galvanic isolation the kind of story customers remember because they can hear the quieter, blacker background.
