FS MONARCHY SM70 monoblocks - OFFERS????

Rare difficult to find in the UK. Awesome bridged mode monoblocks which I think are 75w per channel or so when bridged. Do some digging for reviews. you'll be astonished. Giant killers, make the big names get a bit nervous and your high end friends weep. Effortlessly musical.

Included Rothwell attenuators for preamps of high gain. If you're up Bolton way you might be able to hear them first.

new £1200 per pair (assuming you COULD have got them)
Bloke I got them off had to get one at a time as they are so thin on the ground. He had to spend £6k to beat them - his own words! Why are they not more popular? Their original price point put a lot of high end to shame.

£560 inc post. Paypal is fine or cash on collection. can meet M6, brum or same distance from Manchester the other way.

Can you post some pics pls.

 

A they a 100% matching pair - I know Monarchy changed the graphics and the handles during the life of the SM70.

 

no they aren't, but I quite like that, I'll add a gallery link...

ta daaa...

Sale was pending, but not heard anything. Last chance saloon David if you are reading this someone could snap these up!

 

I guess its open season...

 

£530 inc UK mainland post. This could be the greatest mistake I'll ever make, so snatch my hands off! ....Quick, before I change my mind!

 

chris - your mail box is full so hope you get this - the whest arrived, on my doorstep when I returned home this evening (Sunday) after weekend travels - it's safe - so thanks

 

Thanks Larkrise, I think you'll love this.

Open to sensible offers on these monoblocks anyone? Stunning amps, just look for the reviews!

I'm only selling these as I think they'll have too much juice for electrostatics, and I have a pair of triodes.


Go on... MAKE ME AN OFFER for probably one of the best pairs of mono's you'll hear.

 

how do you think they would do into a pair of focal 1007be's? 90db/w bookshelf speakers?

Are these amps true balanced connections? or do they convert internally to single ended?

 

I had a pair of these and they are True Balanced amplifier with Zero Feedback. They each run in pure class-A operation of (25watts x 2) or (75watts x 1).

And they sound great

 

When used on the XLRs they are true balanced - in exactly the way that I had johnandchris do with his rotel in the other thread. IME with mine (a pair of facelift models, like the one on the right in the view from the front in SMEagol's pics) they sound very significantly better this way than using phono connection with the bridging switch.

Because of the open-loop output stage the output impedance is not the lowest going, and in bridged mode this doubles - they benefit from being placed right behind the speaker with a minimal length of speaker cable to improve DF.

They could well be a good match with the focals.

 

thanks for the info isaac.

 

Thanks for all the positive comments, but due to these unbelievably not selling I've sacrificed them to ebay. Theres still time to make me an offer on zerogain though.
