With its strong interest in the analogue Hi-Fi business particularly in audiophile tube electronic product development, IAG acquired the EKCO brand in September 2009 and released its first vintage tube electronic product, the EKCO EV55SE Integrated Amplifier. A range of Valve Radios, modelled on the Art Deco products that made EKCO famous, form part of the brand’s product range for 2010. In 2011 came the EV55DP CD player which locked the latest technology in a box that resembled the Ekco’s ethos of classical aesthetics and modern technology.
