Spotted those earlier. Kef B200 bass driver and T27 tweeter with Goodmans DT3 tweeter by the look of it. Odd selection of drivers. Can't see the point really.Originally Posted by Macca

Looks like two upper units, the other thing looks like a pot probably to control tweeter level.

Most folk who aren't into this gear think any speaker over a foot tall is a floor stander. I see them on there all the time.

Alchemist Kraken. I agree with the sellers description on looks ( i like the look), but full class A, don't think so,maybe first few watts ( Jez could answer this I'm sure). Excellent phono stage, 'err umm' well for me not that great. I would not describe the sound as the seller has, some say grainy, some warm. I like these amps, and use mine loads.
I like it that the seller has placed the power box to the side of the Amp, as most sellers place it on top, where it just looks odd.
Best with an 8ohm speaker, but can work with other rated speakers. Runs very hot, i added 'fin' legs to mine to raise it up a wee bit. Looks better ( to me), and more air flow around it.

I reckon it'll fetch a few quid though.
I've seen them for sale over the years, but somehow never been attracted enough to want one.

Sound great to me Grant, but don't think fully class A. Yes Ali had Shanes one, then Shane had it back of Ali. He sold it on. Jez and Ali done some work on it i think.

Not sure , seen a few go from £130.00 - £300.00, as this has the 2 trans, may be more close to £300.00. I would assume £220.00- £250.00, but depends on how much someone wants it, like most stuff these days.

I'd expect about £275 for it. got double trannies I think. Worth that if in good nick. Pity I cant afford it lol. Was quite taken with Ali's one on Garys speakers. It would be overkill for my speakers anyway.
