German handbuilt High-End Integrated Amplifier in very good condition and full working order.

If you're looking for a high-end integrated amplifier capable of driving difficult speakers and sounding powerful and authoratitive, this amplifier is for you.

Hi-end Hifi, Handbuilt in Kassel Germany by Restek, (formerly Thorens-Restek) the dual mono design of the Restek Challenger provides generous current delivery.

The sonic performance is gutsy with great authority & grip whilst maintaining a neutral and vibrant character.

There is no original carton, so collection from Littlehampton (South Coast - West Sussex) only I'm afraid.

300.00 Cash on collection.

Thanks for looking. :-)

Good news, I've located its carton. Still cash on collection though, I'd not want it to get damaged in transit.

Alternatively, can meet within 20 miles of Littlehampton for £20.00 towards petrol.
