SOLD AS A PAIR - £700 collected.

Postage will be considered at cost but will be expensive as I will only use Royal Mail Special Delivery.

I’ve had this pair for the last few weeks and I have to say they are excellent, I just need a bit more power for the 15” drivers in my Tannoys or I’d be keeping them. It’s why I created a wanted thread to try and find a WAD KT88 XL integrated, see the HiFi World reviews on the KEL84 integrated to get an idea as to how good the power amp is.

Again thanks to Mikey for posting these up for me.

Had them maybe three years-Purchased off Grant (Struth).

Really nice combo that has a lovely midrange but not too soft.

Mixture of valves but all reasonably good.

Sounded nice on the end of my Spendor SP1s.

Would prefer if they find a home together but will be willing to split them if need be.

Mikey really rated this combo-they work rather well together!

Yup , heard this combination at Tony's place , and in my own system , and thought they were excellent .

Mikey really rated this combo-they work rather well together!Yip, been listening to them this morning with my feet up on my new footstool. A great buy for someone.

They drive my Tannoys really well with great bass, midrange and good clear treble. If I didn't fancy buying a Primaluna integrated at 5x the price of these then I'd be keeping them. Let's face it the Primaluna isn't 5x better but it has all the features I want.

Cheap enough to try and if you don't like then be easy to move on, last Promitheus pre I saw on eBay went for £350 plus postage which makes this a cheap combo.

Using a Promitheus TVC with a Quad 306 to drive my Tannoys. Works a treat!

This is genuinely a great buy, if you fancy trying valves for the first time this pairing will give you a great sound for the money.

Hmmm, the original advertising post is a little misleading. The attached link is to the current WD KeL84 which is a different beast from this early example of a WAD KeL84. Fundamentally they are the same but the current model has a number of upgrades this one does not involving changes to standard circuitry, wiring, facia plate, transformer covers and socket quality. This WAD KeL84 remains a very good and worthwhile amp to own, but please realise it is not the same as the KeL84 shown in the posted link.
