I had tne equivalent monos a vew years back.

They were 200w per channel, which was verified by one wam poster who saw them being measured at JW’s home.
So i don’t doubt the rating for tnis.
Although no doubt it depends on the type and brand of valves fitted.

Certainly woke up my kef 104/2.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, as on top of my substantial personal experience in this area, 'valve watts' are renowned as being rather different from SS ones!

This amp will prove to be an absolute bargain to the lucky person who ends up buying it. Simples...

I thought it was 70 wpc

**hifi_dave** · 31-03-2018, 16:11

What are the output valves ? and how many watts is possible from a pair ?

**Audio Al** · 31-03-2018, 16:12

KT88s the amp is a integrated not mono blocks

**hifi_dave** · 31-03-2018, 16:18

I don't think 200w per pair is possible..

So i assume 100 wc is realstic for this.
