Happy to consider part-trade of a so long as I can still realise a sensible bit of cash from this - something with valves in obviously
For those who don't know it the 861 is one of the most highly regarded of the large EAR stable of power amps. The EL519 valve is very high current, so even triode strapped, it can produce 32w. Being a triode amp it has as a wonderful sweet and detailed presentation, while still having a serious punch and bass capability because it runs in pure class A.
It is known as the sweetest amp in the EAR range and if your speakers or listening habits don't need the 50w+ of the 534 or 70w+ of the 890 it is probably the best option of the lot.
