    The UA700 was a budget amp, but was well reviewed back then.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I suppose it comes down to how handy you are at building speakers and also just what the drivers are. My garage and car port are already full of assorted cack that looks like it might come in handy one day. If I added those speakers to the pile Mrs. P would probably leave me, or more likely give me grief and not make me any tea.

    Well they wouldn't interest me even at fifty quid, but I guess these days a realistic price would be around £150 to £200. They're nothing special, I had a pair years ago that I sold for £60.
