Factory Built World Audio Design KEL84 integrated (Line only) that was later upgraded to the XL version, currently fitted with a pair of Mullard ECF80s and a set of 6P14P-EVs. The side cheeks are there to hide a couple of small marks and are just held in place by double sided tape.

These amps are autobiasing.

Bought as a temporary replacement whilst my Primaluna was up for sale. No longer needed and it's not getting much use on my 2nd system so thought I'd see if anyone was interested in it. All working as it should and is a great match for my Tannoy Berkeleys.

This is £1260 built and supplied by WAD

£465 inc UK Delivery

That's a beauty Mike especially with those cheeks on. What does the XL upgrade involve?
