The story of Audio Resurgence begins long before its official formation. It traces back to Alchemist Products, a pioneering British audio company founded in 1989. Alchemist quickly earned global recognition for its daring engineering and visually arresting designs — from the muscular lines of the Forseti and The Alchemist ranges to the commanding presence of the original Kraken amplifiers.

At the heart of those iconic creations were Andy Light, Glen Gayle, and Tim de Paravicini — three visionaries whose combined talents defined Alchemist’s distinctive identity. As visual designer, Andy gave Alchemist its unmistakable sculptural form, while Glen, as circuit designer, engineered the sonic character that made its amplifiers so admired. Complementing their work was Tim de Paravicini, the renowned Hi-Fi and studio equipment designer celebrated for his ground-breaking audio innovations. His contributions and modifications elevated Alchemist’s later statement and Signature Series products to legendary status — designs that continue to inspire and will resurface through Audio Resurgence’s forthcoming high-end releases. Together, they embodied the perfect union of art, engineering, and pure sound.

Now, over three decades later, the spirit of Alchemist returns — reborn through Audio Resurgence. Carrying forward the same values of innovation, craftsmanship, and British design excellence, Audio Resurgence stands as a modern continuation of that legacy — refined, reimagined, and ready for a new generation of listeners.

Though the legendary Tim de Paravicini has since passed, his influence remains deeply woven into our philosophy. His statement pieces and design ethos live on through our upcoming creations, ensuring that the artistry and engineering brilliance that once defined Alchemist continue to evolve and inspire. Our first release, The Kraken, marks the resurgence of a legend. Reimagined, re-engineered, and meticulously fine-tuned, this integrated amplifier embodies true Class A performance, pairing timeless design with uncompromising sonic purity.

While Audio Resurgence stands as a new chapter — a fresh company with a renewed vision — its roots are deeply anchored in a heritage of creativity, craftsmanship, and passion for high-fidelity sound. The essence remains the same: bold ideas, striking design, and pure musical expression.
