Refurbished, second-hand, clearance... We'll explain!
  • Refurbished: A refurbished product is a used product that has been fully tested in a workshop according to precise specifications. It is therefore in perfect working order and offers the same features as a new model. A second life!
  • Used: Unlike refurbished models, a used product has not been through our workshop. However, unless otherwise stated, it is in perfect working order and often has an even lower price than its refurbished equivalent.
  • Clearance sale: Unless otherwise stated, this is a new product reaching the end of its life (EOL) with the brand and will therefore be removed from the catalog. Ideal for those who want to give a device that still has so much to offer one last chance!
Second life, but guaranteed!

Audio Garden's review

With this third generation, the Tangent Ampster BT III has matured without losing its original spirit: a simple, modern, and musical amplifier capable of powering a pair of bookshelf speakers with surprising ease. The sound remains clear and well-structured, with tight bass, a natural midrange, and smooth, never harsh, highs.

The well-designed connectivity—Bluetooth aptX-HD, HDMI ARC, and an integrated phono input—covers most current needs without requiring additional devices. Ergonomics remain exemplary: automatic power-on, sleek design, remote control, and very low standby power consumption.

The Tangent Ampster BT III embodies what one expects from a modern compact amplifier: musical, discreet and perfectly suited to a home hi-fi setup or a furnished office.

Technical details & operation

The Tangent Ampster BT III uses a 24-bit/192 kHz DAC paired with a Bluetooth 5.1 aptX-HD receiver to ensure a stable, high-quality wireless stream. The HDMI ARC/CEC input simplifies integration with a TV, while the RIAA MM phono input allows for direct connection of a turntable.

The 2 x 50W amplifier (4 Ω) delivers convincing dynamics for most bookshelf speakers. The subwoofer output, filtered at 250 Hz, allows you to enhance the low end if needed. All this is housed in a robust, compact, and perfectly silent aluminum chassis weighing only 1.3 kg.
