    Default FS: Apart Champ One power amp - gobs of power! Good sound.

    Bought from Duncan / Tubehunter in March last year when he was downsizing his multi-amping system to just one of these amps.

    Immense power. Fine, transparent sound.

    Excellent condition and works A1.

    Not sure if I have the box or not. I think it's in the loft but not certain. Anyway, will be packed well.

    £200 plus £25 UK courier or collect from GL17.

    Here's a photo of the actual item for sale ...



    Here are some pics from elsewhere showing rear facilities and internals ...



    Coo, look at that transformer - no wonder it doesn't seem to run out of power.

    This is the amp I took to NEBO that went down well driving Quad 57s and some other speakers.

    I ain't selling mine.

    It drives my Apogee Duettas well. No really - it does a fine job and I can listen to it doing so for days without hardship. It just sounds good. That simple. No matter what I have plugged it into.

    Buy it it is an absolute steal for the money. I'd like to see it passed round forum members just so they can hear what a fine amp this is, regardless of what it costs.

    I love it. It is a real two fingers up to really expensive amps. I'm not saying it can beat them - it can't beat really good expensive examples, but it can say a bloody good "fuck off"!

    You need mine to bridge to mono, Justin - 1100W.

    Got to say it was impressive at MiBO, £200 does seem a steal for the performance on offer.

    If I needed an amp I'd have it, but ...

    Pah! Flea power.

    If anyone wants mine to do so it is £800.

    I was thinking this was the same model we heard at MiBO. It was impressive.

    Mighty power in a fairly compact chassis - but it's a cunning convection cooled design, no fans. Not that it gets more than a bit warm anyway.

    I quite like the prose of the manual. It was designed with the right attitude, I think.

    They don't make it anymore, or indeed a contemporary one with such power on tap.

    To all: for £200, buy it, and pass it on if no likey. You will at least have learnt something.
