German handbuilt High-End Integrated Amplifier in very good condition and full working order.
If you're looking for a high-end integrated amplifier capable of driving difficult speakers and sounding powerful and authoratitive, this amplifier is for you.
Hi-end Hifi, Handbuilt in Kassel Germany by Restek, (formerly Thorens-Restek) the dual mono design of the Restek Challenger provides generous current delivery.
The sonic performance is gutsy with great authority & grip whilst maintaining a neutral and vibrant character.
The amplifier chassis is stunningly made from solid aluminium, built to last with a solid face-plate housing dedicated illuminated input and record selections.
I have used it with B&W Nautilus 802's purely as a power amplifier, with no issues.
Can be used as a Pre-amp (Pre Out) and Power-Amp (Main In)
Screw type speaker binding posts, which can accept bare wire, banana plugs or spades.
Specifications:
8 Line inputs (no Phono Stage) and 1 Tape loop
130W/8Ohm load 190W/4Ohm load
Frequency range 2 - 150kHz -3dB
Distortion 0.01% (at 100W into 8Ohm)
Damping Factor 250 (8Ohm at 1kHz)
Weight 15kg
There is no original carton, so collection from Littlehampton (South Coast - West Sussex) only I'm afraid.
300.00 Cash on collection.
Thanks for looking. :-)
