Pair of EL84 Monoblocks

[mikeyb]

Listed for sale on behalf of wee tee cee of this Forum, I’ve had them on loan for the last few weeks and they are now for sale.

Built by Tubehunter of this Forum, great little amps that sound really good on my Tannoys but ultimately not quite powerful enough to drive them as I’d like. I think they are around 8w?









This next shot shows the size of them against an LP



Any questions or info needed will be answered by wee tee cee as I’m not too familiar with spec etc.

Very neat. I like the look of those. I'd think they'll turn out a bit more than 8 watts.

Maybe, they might be 10-12 I can’t remember what I was told lol, they are really nice, I had them sitting on top of my Tannoys which looked cool, Tony (wee tee cee] will know more about them I’m sure he’ll chime in once he gets my message to say I’ve listed them

Mikey many thanks....my computer skills aint up to much.

Reckon ive had these maybe 5 years, bought them off Ali tate.

If memory serves Ali got them off Duncan (tubehunter).

They sound quite a bit more grunty than the power amp so can drive 57s without a problem using a passive pre.

Valves are a bit of a hotpotch but they sound rather good.

They look seriously cool.

Are these automatic bias or do you have to delve into the internal HT circuit when rolling the el84?

What input valves are used?

Ta.

Hi

These bring back memories.
Really enjoyed planning, building this project. I may have to revisit valves.
They are basically WD Kel84 but with EZ81 tube rectification and better transformers and chokes. Being monoblock also improves things no end.
As regards valve bias, no adjustments necessary just use matched pairs.
Input valve is an ECF80.

Happy Days

Thanks Duncan.
Oh 'eck.
Seriously tempted.
What are the dimensions? (viz. would they fit on a single shelf space?)

I thought they looked quite dinky until I saw them next to the LP!

They're quite small.

W 26cm x D 18cm x H 15cm each
