Roksan Kandy K2 Amp

Hi,

Does anyone use the aforementioned amp ?

If so what's the opinion

I can only speak for the older KA-1 MKIII model. But I'd expect the K2/K3 generation to hold many similar traits.

The Kandy's are renown to sound punchy and dynamic. They present the music, in a ''wall of sound'' kind of way. Just don't expect ultimate detail and information retrieval!!

IMO, very fun sounding things, with stunning build quality in spades.

Take a look at some Class A amplification Oliver. Valve or solid state.

Ok, just looking at options if my Sony doesn't start behaving.

Any recommendations on a budget of £500 ?

Second hand Sugden A21a. Should be fine with your Celestions and Missions. Shane can give an opinion. I think he's had a couple.

One in Germany. 230 volt. Sugden can advise as to suitability for UK use.

The modern A21a family can sound exceptionally communicative. They're actually quite lean sounding amps. Just don't expect any vice-like grip, and authoritative bass out of them!

YMMV!

Hmm quite like authoritive bass.

Some user reviews here. They seem to sum it up quite well.
