Our not-the-new Amplifolia range

2015 and over 21 years on, it was just a simple name change and not a change in design for REDGUM’s traditional wood-fronted amplifiers, keeping them all alive and well within the Amplifolia range.

No, we are not trying to confuse you by this update, but with the “new” Black Series now living in a parallel universe, a clear line had to be drawn.

When you reach the age of 21 and have 21 different high-current amplifiers in your range, a Big Birthday is as good a reason as any to evaluate where the years have brought you. And could take you.

An obvious starting point is to ask which are your best sellers. Deciding that takes a microsecond as they are all Signature Series Stereo amplifiers.

This fact quickly leads to a progression falling logically into place. First, simplify your traditional range by offering only Signature Series amplifier designs. Second, and at the same time, bring their power specifications into line to show how much weight they all have put on over many years.

Third, continue on just as before as an Australian-made range, but now distinguished by each amplifier carrying the name of a Eucalypt tree (as REDGUM’s speakers have had for some years).

Being simply a change of name and not a change in design*, each amplifier’s new name reflects it as being up-to-date as much as how its own wood front panel comes from one Eucalyptus tree, the Red Gum (E. camaldulensis).

Putting that all together, enter the Amplifolia range, newly-named in 2015.

For the Integrateds:
What was the 50W/ch RGi35ENR is now the Stellulata with 60W/ch. The Aquilina offers 120W/ch, much more mature than its earlier self, the 75W/ch RGi60ENR. The RGi120ENR’s 155W/ch has fully grown up to be the 200W/ch Articulata.

For the Monoblocks:
The RGM175ENR System has bulked up from 200W/ch to become the Splendens with >250W/ch. And the Magnificata becomes all things to all speakers with >350W/>550W/>900W/ch into 8/4/2Ω, instead of its former self, the 400W/ch RGM300ENR (8Ω).

*The only unit in the Amplifolia range that did involve an upgrading of its circuit design was the RGM300ENR as it was transformed into the Magnificata System, focussed on powering lower speaker loads.
