The Amplifier Technologies, Inc. team has been designing and manufacturing power amplifiers for almost 35 years.

In their early teens, at the beginning of their long audio friendship, Mike Pontelle and Morris Kessler built amps in Kessler's bedroom. In 1969, Kessler formed SAE and a year later Pontelle became his partner. For almost two decades, they made some of the best known home audio amplifiers.

In the early Seventies, if one wanted the best in solid-state amplification, SAE came to mind. Known then internationally as purveyors of open and musical products, SAE lingers in the minds of audiophiles old enough to remember as a company that really produced. These amps were so popular, they took Japan by storm way before single-ended tube amps became retro-cool in the land of the rising Sun.

Kessler sold SAE in 1988 and Pontelle worked with other audio companies. Then in June of 1994 they became a team again - this time under the banner of Amplifier Technologies, Inc.; - ATI.

Founded on such a heritage, ATI believes their experience in making superb sounding amps is reflected in their current designs.

Their focus on high-end power amplifiers results in total commitment to offering state-of-the-art products to meet the growing needs of today's exploding home theater and audio/video market.
