At this level, every detail matters: your room, your system, what you’re driving it with, what you’re listening to. I handle these orders personally because an investment like this deserves more than an Add to Cart button. We’ll work through system synergy, I’ll make sure the setup is right, and we’ll coordinate delivery so it arrives exactly how it should. A few of our brands require this direct approach, but at this price point, it’s how I’d do it anyway. Use the button above, or call/text me directly at 410-239-2020.

The Kora TB400 Integrated Amplifier embodies the brand’s philosophy of combining tube warmth with transistor power. The TB400 is, quite simply, the TB200’s big brother. More filtering, bigger transformers, more transistors.
At its heart lies the innovative SquareTube® operational amplifier, equipped with four triodes per channel. This unique design ensures that all amplification and signal control functions are handled by the SquareTube®, while complementary hyper-linear power transistors supply the necessary current to drive your speakers without coloring the signal. The result is an amplifier that maintains absolute phase accuracy, delivers extraordinary detail, and achieves natural dynamics with unmatched musicality.
By eliminating the limitations of traditional output transformers, the TB400 avoids phase shifts, poor coupling, and current restrictions. Its marriage of high-voltage tube smoothness and transistor-driven energy delivers a rich, stable, and precise performance, even under complex load conditions. With the TB400, music is experienced with both refinement and unrestrained power.
Square Tube Technology
The TB400 features Kora’s exclusive Square Tube Technology: all amplification and signal control happens in the tube stage, while complementary transistors simply supply the current your speakers need, without taking part in amplifying the signal. Kora is explicit that this is not the usual hybrid of a tube preamp feeding a solid-state power amp; it is a tube amplifier assisted by transistors. This design eliminates many of the compromises found in traditional tube or transistor circuits, offering the musicality of tubes with the current delivery to drive demanding speakers.

What does the TB 400 add over the TB 200?
What does the TB 400 add over the TB 200?
Double the power and a bigger supply. The TB 400 makes 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 360 into 4, from two 500VA transformers, 2 x 100,000uF of filtering and twenty output transistors; the TB 200 makes 100 and 180 from two 300VA transformers, 2 x 60,000uF and twelve. Both use the same Square Tube circuit, four triodes per channel. Get in touch with Mike to talk through which your speakers need.
Does the TB 400 have balanced inputs or a home theater bypass?
Does the TB 400 have balanced inputs or a home theater bypass?
Its four line inputs are RCA only. Input 4 can be configured as a bypass input, making the TB 400 a power amplifier for a surround processor, or as a pre-out after the volume control for an active subwoofer. Each input has a level trim for matching sources.
What power supply and placement does the TB 400 need?
What power supply and placement does the TB 400 need?
It draws up to 1,010VA at full power into 4 ohms and 610 watts at full power into 8. Kora sets the mains voltage at the factory and marks it on the back, 230V standard with 117V on request. The amplifier warms up in use, so give it ventilation around, above and below, and note it weighs 27kg.
