Zanden releases the 6000F integrated amplifier

by | January 2026

Fully symmetrical, the new Zanden 6000F integrated amplifier allows you to choose between KT-120 or KT-150 power tubes.

The latest model in the Modern range, it features the same sleek white design in a solid chassis with dimensions similar to those of the 8120 power amplifier. Like this one, the 6000F uses two tubes per channel and delivers a comfortable rated power output of 90 W into 8 Ω (with KT-120).

Also featuring four 12AU7 preamp tubes, this new integrated amplifier follows the principles of the 6000 model, but in a superior chassis with reinforced feet. The circuit diagrams have also been revised, as have the components, the RFI/EMI shielding (see our review of the Model 120, VU#58), the filter capacitors, and the internal wiring.

With extremely low feedback, the 6000F can amplify most speakers on the market and has four pairs of analog inputs, either RCA or Neutrik XLR, including one unity gain input for use in a home theater environment. With ergonomics worthy of the most modern devices, this integrated amplifier comes standard with a remote control and features such as polarity reversal.

Soon to be tested by VUmètre to verify the transparency and expressiveness that are hallmarks of this Japanese family brand, which we featured in our issue 62 Special Japan (in French), the 6000F model is being launched at a price of 32 900 € until the end of January, then 34 900 € for 2026.
