Selling as per the Title.
Many of you know how much I like these amps, and will know that it is not an easy sale for me.
I have been trying to sell another pair of mono amps, but having no joy there.
I have reduced the price on those until I am at ridiculous levels, but still no sale, so these AI's are now available.
I bought these via the Wam in Autumn 2012. The sound coming out of them was great, but they werent quite right. There was a distortion/hissing thing going on too.
I was advised to re-seat the valves, which may clear things up.
Stupidly, I re-seated them wrongly, and caused a loud bang. (no comments please from "friends" - remember this is a For Sale thread)
I sent them off to Guy at Puresound, and he fixed the original problems and the ones caused by my mistake.
Guy did his usual great work and they sound great again. I took them to Scalford in March this year, and they received much attention and praise.
When I got them there was a matched quad of 2A3 valves, plus another random quad of 2A3's. (In fact, this set up was what I used at Scalford).
Since then, I have changed the random set out and now have 2 matched sets of 4, with 2 valves from each quad in each amp (as suggested by Guy).
They now sound even better than at Scalford.
I have been using them mainly with my Snell K's but lately with my Snell C's. They sound fantastic with both. Many wammers have heard these and praised the sounds coming out .
If your speakers are not very efficient, these amps are probably not for you. But with suitably efficient speakers ie Snell / Audio Note etc, they will be fantastic.
In fact, if you have such speakers, you really owe it to yourself and your speakers to get these monos on to the end of them.
I took them to a WAm bakeoff in the spring. They sounded great driving a pair of
big Tannoys, as well as a pair of Snell J's.
Those other monos that I have are fantastic, and sound great with my Snells. It wont be a hardship using them. But, the AI 2nd's sound even better.
My price is £1250. I may come down at some point in the future, but not yet. It is firm. Please dont make any offers.
You are welcome here to see and hear them. I may be able to deliver for a contribution to petrol costs.
