The Boulder name machined into the aluminum of a 3050 amplifier

Boulder

Boulder Amplifiers has designed and built high-end audio electronics in Colorado since 1984. Its amplifiers are known for their build quality, combining careful engineering with meticulous craftsmanship, and for an uncompromising approach to performance that has earned them a reputation as some of the most accurate and natural-sounding in the industry. With an emphasis on clean power and minimal distortion, a Boulder delivers the music as the artist intended, with clarity and detail.

Jeff Nelson founded the company to build studio-grade amplification for the home, and it still works the way he set it up. Every chassis is machined from solid aluminum on Boulder's own CNC machines in Louisville, Colorado, the circuit boards are built in the same building, and each unit is tested and listened to before it ships. The circuits are fully balanced from input to output, with gain stages Boulder designs from individual parts. The range runs from the 866 integrated amplifier to the 3050 mono amplifiers, with integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers and phono stages in between.

Pearl Audio has been a Boulder dealer since 2018. We plan each system around Boulder's balanced connections, deliver and install it ourselves, and listen with you before we leave. More on Boulder at Pearl Audio.
