I bought this amp from Jerry last year and have enjoyed it immensely, it is one of the best amps I have owned. Powerful and controlled yet lacks nothing in terms of detail and refinement.

It's extremely versatile, I have had excellent results using both active and passive pre-amplification. 100 kohms input impedance meant there was no lack of drive/dynamics with passives.

It is in very good condition with only a few faint scuffs to top and side panels.

Selling due to change in direction/circumstance. £800 collected from North London or £825 with insured delivery, original packaging included.

Got one of these, good amp. Has this one got the 'bridged' switch on the back?

The links don't work for me.

Good price and a bright but very clean sound.

PLEASE don't EVER short the speaker terminals, even for half a second as I once did! Blew many output devices I did and the repair by Ab Sounds wasn't cheap :doh:

Not sure why, but I re-pasted them in.

Yes, it does.

Thanks. Hmmm, the question is do I need 1000 wpc? :eyebrows:

I was impressed by this amp spanked the Apogees with mucho finesse. Not bad for a box of those transistory things. Not bad at all.

£800 well spent. Definitely.

Dan's amps vary - and this is a good one.

Yep, I would imagine that this amp could drive just about anything.

Definitely 'a good one' as you say.

I was never a huge fan of the Krell amps I had encountered in the past, but this one's a little different. It's crisp, fast and dynamic with a tight, controlled bass.
