FS: Philips Black Tulip 22AH280 Preamp & 22AH380 Power Amp

[Clive]

I'm selling my Philips Black Tulip pre-power which I've owned for a few years. The Black Tulip range was Philips' final foray into quality HiFi separates. They are great vintage designs and very well-built. The power amp is Class A/B 100W RMS into 8 ohms. I would classify cosmetic condition to be very respectable given that these hail from the 1980s. There are a few marks / chips to the paint but nothing that screams out, the photos show the condition realistically. These amps would be fine to display and use in your most posh room!

I'd prefer to sell the pre-power together, they are such a great pairing it would be a shame to split them up.

The power amp is quite heavy so ideally, the buyer would collect them from South Manchester/ Cheshire or perhaps we could arrange to meet somewhere convenient.

I'm looking for £650 for the pair.

I’ve had a change of heart re the Black Tulip 280 preamp, I’m keeping it for a few months more. The equally gorgeous 380 power amp with the sexy VU meters is up for sale on its own. I’m asking £300 for the power amp. When there is serious we can discuss shipping vs meeting to deliver it.
