Rather than these just gathering dust in a cupboard I thought I’d let someone else enjoy them.

Purchased from Jerry last year they sounded excellent with my Tannoys. From memory I think they were rated at about 12 watts.

They’ll come with a ‘hydra’ mains cable so you only need to use one socket & a complete set of spare valves.

I’m asking £350 but these must be collected from my address in Romford. I’m afraid I can’t do ‘meet ups’ due to a medical condition which restricts my driving ability. If you would like a demo you’ll have to bring a preamp. Thanks for looking.

Hi Roy, very nice indeed. These look like the work of Duncan. I am so tempted, someone please buy these quick.

Ah, didn’t see that! I will be surprised if these are still available tomorrow, bit of a bargain imho. GLWS

If I didn't already have a nice pair of KT66 monoblocs I'd be all over these. GLWS.

Someone please buy these before I have another glass of wine... If I wasn't in the process of moving it would have been a no-brainer.

Phew! I think... [emoji3525]

Well done Roy, hope the new owner is happy with them.

I admit it, I was tempted too. Even though I swore I'd not use valves again! :)

I was very tempted too, in fact I had pretty much decided to have them if they still for sale in the morning. Based on the WD Kel84, which is a cracking little amp imho.

With all the interest perhaps I should have asked a little more? :eyebrows:

Anyway that's me waving goodbye to valves for the last time, it was a brief flirtation but enjoyable none the less.

Roy, I must admit that I would have taken them when I visited you a few months back, had I known that you were selling them. Can’t even buy the transformers new for that asking price.

I only dragged them out of a cupboard today to test the inputs on the Audiolab pre I've just sold when it occurred to me to sell them, I'd semi-forgot I had them to be honest.

Not checking private exhibitions every time can save you some money! Looks like a very good price! So much good looking iron!

Yes, well done Roy, that was a very fair price....(Roy's a decent bloke I might add)!

Don't remind me...bad experience Roy, needed counselling after that!
That fell through again...so picked up a cheap pair of early 315's...just sitting here waiting to be foamed up. Sorry Mod's for the extra sauce on the tacho..

Thread drift is an essential AoS ingredient! As long as a sales thread is concluded and the OP doesn’t mind, dollop all the extra sauce you want!

Very nice amps, those.
No noise, no fuss - they just play great music.
Not sure why I sold them to Roy tbh!

I ended up getting another el84 amp - I just love the things!

Think I caught you at a moment of weakness Jerry when you had a 'glut' of amps (you never started a 'for sale' thread, I just PMd you on the off chance ;) )
