Looks monstrous. I know nothing about this model, but MingDa gear is well made. Trouble is, it may be 220 or 230 volt. Might be an idea to check.
Lots of power is fun, but you'd probably only need an 8 watt amp with the Pioneers.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
yeah too much power for those speakers. not seen that one either

Agreed Geoff. The reputation (mainly your opinion) highlighted to me. Lots of power is fun though.

Personally, I reckon a tidy Leak Stereo 20 would be great with the Pioneers. Don't worry about them being 'old vintage', they're a great amp and easy to service. They work just fine with a passive pre-amp too.

I've had several Stereo 20 amps and there's nothing rolled off about the sound at all. Quite the opposite I'd say. Driving my Tannoys, the sound was punchy and dynamic, no shortage of bass depth or top end extension. The transparency, mid clarity and just all round 'rightness' of the Leak sound is very appealing.

I know you know your onions Geoff. I wont rule it out. As I said, the Firebottle stuff is top of the wish list. This just jumped out at me when I saw it.
