JBL SA550 Classic


A new "Classic" from JBL

The recent success of JBL's 75th anniversary gear spawned the new "JBL Classics" line. This powerful integrated amp features vintage styling harking back to the '60s and '70s complete with wood side panels and matte silver finish. Plus, the SA550 blends analog technology with modern digital processing to satisfy your retro or your futuristic musical whims.

To take advantage of the clean sound of the SA550, you need great speakers. That's where the JBL Classic speakers come in. They're an outstanding match for the SA550, not just sonically, but also visually thanks to the walnut finish of both the amplifier and the speakers. You get plenty of power to drive most speakers, but there's a stereo preamp output for adding a more powerful amplifier down the road.

Connect your analog and digital sources

With three digital and four analog inputs - including a phono connection for turntables with moving magnet cartridges - the SA550 can accommodate a wide range of sources. It has built-in Bluetooth with high-res aptX™ Adaptive technology for streaming music via online services from compatible devices. For robust Wi-Fi streaming, you can add JBL's matching MP350 Classic network music player. Or use one of the digital connections to connect JBL's matching CD player or your TV.

Class G amplification and a superior DAC

Class G amplification provides super-clean Class A performance at low levels, and it uses efficient "rail-switching" technology to bring in a higher power supply with low distortion when necessary for more demanding dynamic peaks. It's a technology that gets high marks from our customers for its clean musicality. Your digital sources get royal treatment from the built-in high-performance ESS Sabre DAC.
