The Aavik I-588 integrated amplifier is an amazing source of a huge dynamic soundstage with a large number of power sources, providing exceptional simplicity in driving all speakers in the best possible way. Following the success of the I-880 model, engineers have incorporated its best qualities into a more compact design. The result is the I-x88 series, which has exceeded our expectations in terms of both form and performance. The elegant, powerful, and refined I-x88 amplifiers embody everything that our company strives for.

Exceptional Design, Born from Two Exceptional Minds
The Aavik x88 series is the result of a unique collaboration between two renowned designers. Respected Gryphon Audio founder Fleming Erik Rasmussen joined the Aavik team in 2021, bringing over 35 years of design experience. Combining his artistic vision with Michael Böressen's innovative technical approach, they created the 188, 288, and 588 devices to not only look stunning but also deliver exceptional sound perception.
Scandinavian Design Aesthetics
Aavik's design language is characterized by Scandinavian restraint, expressing simplicity and minimalism with just a few buttons for logical control. The multi-functional main knob provides easy navigation and control over various functions. The hallmark of the new Aavik series design is the large red display, where all details of selected settings can be easily read.
Tesla Coil Technology
The Tesla coil principle involves having two coils wound in each direction - a coil and a counter coil. When a Tesla coil encounters a sharp voltage spike, a counter spike is activated to eliminate noise. This improves music perception as noise spikes are nearly eliminated.
Active Tesla Coils for Noise Suppression
Active Tesla coils powered by the power source provide significantly lower resistance and better noise elimination than passive Tesla coils, making them 3-4 times more effective.
Active Square Tesla Coils
Active square Tesla coils integrated into circuit boards offer even greater noise suppression capabilities than passive Tesla coils.
Anti-Aerial Resonance Coil Technology
Preventing interference in cables, Tesla coils wound around the cable protect the signal from absorbing radio frequency interference, improving signal purity.
Third Generation Analog Smoothing Technology
Developed to enhance signal strength and range, the third generation analog smoothing technology enhances the musical signal and eliminates background noise.
