Audion is a name in Audio that many people have heard of, though most haven’t heard their amps. The company was established in 1987 by David Chessell and Erik Anderson. The concept for Audion in those early days was to allow people to get an insight into audiophile high end without sacrificing their home or bank balance. During their vital early years from 1987 – 1990, Europe saw the release of two different audio triode amplifiers – the first of this kind from a western manufacturer. They were designed by Erik and produced under the direction of David. Before long, there developed a trend throughout the western world for triode amplifiers. In 1999, Graeme Holland took over the company and has been designing and improving their products for the last 16 years.
