Kandy LIII Series - 2005

Kandy LIII Series - 2005

The Roksan Kandy LIII Series, released in 2005, built on a strong legacy of innovative design and audio excellence. This iteration, comprising an integrated amplifier, power amplifier, and CD player, was a refined upgrade from its predecessors, dating back to the first Kandy model introduced in 2000. Following the MkIII in 2003, the Kandy L.III took the series to new heights in 2006 and 2007 with significant internal enhancements while maintaining its iconic steel and aluminium chassis.

The most notable improvements in the Kandy L.III were found in its redesigned double mono power stage. The layout was carefully revised, repositioning the power supply to reduce interference and deliver more consistent power to the internal components. A powerful 500 VA toroidal transformer, new capacitors, and updated wiring contributed to a cleaner, more efficient operation. These thoughtful changes not only improved the technical performance but also delivered a noticeable improvement in sound quality, with enhanced transparency, clarity, and three-dimensionality that outshined competitors at a similar price point.

The integrated amplifier stood out with a generous array of connections, including a phono input for MM cartridges - a nod to Roksan's roots in turntable manufacturing. The Kandy L.III’s careful attention to the phono stage and earthing, as well as its upgraded OP amps, allowed for a warm, precise vinyl playback experience. Its rear panel even featured inverted input labels for easy visibility, a retro touch that harked back to the golden era of hi-fi design.

The Kandy L.III power amplifier delivered a robust 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms, providing dynamic sound reproduction across a wide frequency range from 3Hz to 100kHz. Its solid build, weighing 14kg, gave it a physical presence that matched its sonic impact. Whether driving delicate saxophone passages or powerful bass lines, the Kandy L.III excelled in reproducing music with accuracy and finesse. Critically acclaimed in group tests across the UK and France, the Kandy L.III received top marks for its engaging sound signature. It consistently impressed with its ability to perform on par with, and sometimes exceed, more expensive amplifiers.
