Hello,

It might be a total nonsense but I am considering selling my Croft Micro 25R and 7R combo.

The units are roughly 2 year old, the amplifier has just been checked by Glenn himself. They will come in their original boxes.

Each of them is now 1400£ and I would like to sale them as a whole for 1800£ plus p&p (fully insured by Fedex, roughly an additional 80£), price is flexible to some extend but no lowballers please.

Thanks for interest

You're mad, unless you're going to get an RS pair :lol:

Good price though. Maybe you need another trip round the amplifier block to realise just how good and "right" these products are :)

I know I may look insane but I am lurking at a valve amplifier. It would be number 3 after an EAR 890 and a Leben CS600

Hi Didier, have you seen the pic of my EAR 899 I'm selling ? posted on here a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Dave but I want to stay in the 2000£ area.

SHILL ALERT!!!!!!!!!

Dave has a loverly Icon Audio amp around that price. Not as smooooooooth and soft as the Stereo 40? he has at a grand, but beautifully presented, great sounding and with decent instructions on use and adjustment..

Just thought I'd mention it and yes, I don't visit other dealers out of respect for their time, the above amp is definitely in Croft territory and should be reliable in use I hope and the thing just looks fab sitting on the shelf :)

Oh, and before Richard Dunn has another carp at my expense on his forum, icon Audio do have a small network of dealers around the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Apologies to Guy, but I haven't yet tried the rather nice looking Puresound amp due to a valve problem which may have been sorted now. This should be fixed by the next visitation soon and another bloody heavyweight to hoik around :lol:

850£ each. If they don't go at this price, I'll keep them.

Two months ago these would have sold the same day; its a slow season indeed. I'm suprised Ian hasn't bought them, if noone else; he's been without Crofts for a few weeks now!

Great amps at a good price.

Hi Andrew,

If you mean me I still have the 25R and 7 ! If the power amp were a 7 I'd be very tempted to have it and go mono, very tempted.

Good luck with it Didier, I too am very surprised these haven't gone, they will. Andrew's right, it is indeed the slow season.

Decision finally made and end of the sale: the amplifier I was interested in doesn't have a phono stage, and would have been a bad move at the end.

Good decision Didier. After all it would have to be some phono stage to match that.

Ian, I must have got confused; I thought you'd sold all your Croft in a blaze of retro valve amp frenzy.

Echoed Didier, this could have been regretted !

Andrew, room for both in my life - the Crofts I consider to be my 'core' amplification, everything else is just fun and indulgence ;-).

The UK retailers are dead at the moment I understand and a few are closing down every few months. Sad but true :(
