Lavardin IS Ref includes optional Lavardin Phono Stage

Black, 2002 model, apart from a scratch at the back it is in excellent condition - note this is the Reference version of the IS integrated.

Includes Phono Stage, RRP £ 2,800

I love this amp but I need to consolidate my setup - I wont describe the sound as I struggle in that department. These are well regarded and sought after so I dont expect it to be available for long.

Boxed with original minimal literature (how French). Note no power lead included as Lavardin didn't supply one when shipped.

£1,300 ono

I'll deliver FOC within 30 miles of Swindon (Wilts) otherwise will discuss P&P costs or arrange collection as necessary.

Cheers

Just an endorsement really, I use the IS ref and in my opinion, it offers a useful improvement over the AVI Lab Series integrated and the Exposure 23 & 28. both of which I owned previously.

BTW, you could always Ebay it. The last one I saw reached £1500 but didn't make the reserve. At £1200 it ought to fly.

Hi JTB.
Interesting comments regards the IS Ref. They are certainly sought after and 1200 is probably a little low (I think dealer prices range from 1600+ and more for one with the phono stage). However I'd rather sell to an enthusiast via ZG at a lower price than chance it on eBay. Though it'll be eBay soon if I dont sell it here or by word of mouth. My wife would happily auction it at £1 start price and no reserve .

Personally I like the IS ref very much. Its a bit underpowered for my Kef's (which is the main reason I'm selling) but I wanted to keep it as part of a second system. Some folks have likened its "sound" to a SET. It has an extremely clear delivery, sometimes eerily so. I'll be very sad to see it go.

Tony,

Great choice. The IS ref is a stunner. I dont know whether you've Lavardins dedicated powercord (details on their website) but if not, there's a guy on Hififorsale.com selling 2, though he's only 1 left as I've just had 1 off him.

Thanks JTB - just e mailed the guy . I take back everything I thought about you when you told Greg that he was underpricing his amp.
Cheers
