    It did a bit, but then so do I at times ..... ;)

    If this had been last year, I would have been asking to audition.

    save me from listing this on "the dark side" ebay again.

    £1795 This is less than a third of its original - get this - 1990!!! price and just short of £1000 off my asking price. Today you'd probably be paying at least £10k for this today.


    I will meet halfway (say Birmingham) I must be totally nuts but need to get this beautiful stuff moved on. I will not post this as it is heavy and fragile. I have original boxes for the monoblocs and some sales literature and a manual and bias tool.
    Setting the bias on these amps is a piece of cake with a simple red LED display and a turn of the tool. very well thought out.

    This is a total pittance for such great hifi. I don't understand what the heck is up here. After tonight I'm reluctantly going back on ebay with some new pictures and a higher price as they totally cane me on fees, as I'm selling these as a set and have to list in two categories, plus their cheeky git final value fee.

    Have you tried 'hifi for sale' website or the classifieds in the back of the mags?

    Thanks for the kind words guys, yes I might just try them on hifi candy again tomorrow. If I could afford to keep them I would, but downsizing has left me with a bottleneck of kit!

    Temptation lures in the buyer eventually eh? ;)

    Glad going to a good home rather than the lucky dip via Ebay.

    Hi Samantha, he's a man of taste!

    On a side note Mark I have taken the monoblocs bit of the sale to my local hifi shop for him (Peter in the lab coat) just to check inside for anything glaring before I sell them to you. They work fine, but thought this made sense on something from 1990 as they run hot, although have never been driven hard by myself. The point to point wiring and transformers are true craftsmanship I was very impressed. I will pick these up on Saturday 16th July. This is at no charge to yourself and this service is included as part of the sale.

    I like happy buyers!


    Please call to organise a meet up.

    as of the 25th I will have to list these for sale again as I need the money. Holding these for two weeks is a long time at the moment!

    Please get in touch Mark just to confirm any arrangements. Nothing personal, just need to sell.

    Hi Mark, could you call me regarding a meet up. I'll get a day off in the week if I have to, and it makes things easier. I can't get through on your landline.

    all the best, Chris
