    Default Firebottle Mono Blocks

    Having just upgraded my amps, I no longer have the need for these amps, which is a shame, as they sound fantastic.
    The ones I have for sale are the ones mentioned https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...800#post835800

    Tech specs:

    Input impedance: 60K ohm.
    Sensitivity: 1.2 volt rms for full output.
    Output power: 55 watts per channel rms into 8 ohms, 85 watts into 4 ohms.

    They take an E88C valve, and are currently fitted with Telefunken 8255/E88C. To my ears, these sounded the best of the ones I tried.

















    I am looking for a quick sale, so I am looking at £600 + postage for the amps.
    They are in A1 condition having spent their lives in a pet free / smoke free home, sat in a HiFi rack.
    I will also include the valves they were delivered with as spares (1 Siemens E88C and one RTC E88C) and a couple of valve damper rings.

    As my new amps are solid state, I have a few nice E88C valves for sale as well, which I will put up another advert for.

    The valve is internal on this build so child and pet friendly.

    I won't be building any more so grab yourself a rarity

    It is also easier to fit into a HiFi rack with the internal valve.

    The fact that you won’t be making anymore might give me second thoughts about selling these, as they are truly wonderful.

    yes think twice !!!
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    You too!
    I won’t be too upset if they don’t sell. I will just build another system in a spare room....
