OK folks. I've decided that, as the amp was obtained to match the Ocellias, I should keep it for the foresee-able future - unless the Ocellias sell (though they run the Opera horns well also)
So I'm withdrawing this from sale.
Thanks to the Mods for their help and comments-and others.
May be back one day?

AS above....it's back!
Still have the Ocellias but I have other amps, so.....have a look.
It's a lovely thing.
It is rather too heavy to trust to Couriers, which I recognise limits me somewhat,
but I'm in no hurry. Collection from close to Junction 18, M5. Avonmouth/Bristol.
You get to hear it then-via choice of speakers!

Resting it this week-end, unless required.

Just a reminder; a great sounding amp.

Stay warm in the autumnal chill.
Can be heard despite varying Govt restrictions!

External access means no lock-down hiccups-or coughs! Can be seen and heard, but collection only still (too heavy to post)

Works very nicely with Audionote Es, apparently.
Offers considered.....

Hi Chris, Hope you are doing OK. Was this the amp I heard when I visited you?
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner
Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive
Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp
Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones
Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links
I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.

Surprised this is still around , and those speakers!! Curious about the weight of the amp , any ideas how heavy
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

Yes. The amp is meant for highish efficiency speakers -though it has plenty of power generally.Originally Posted by AJSki2fly
As to weight....50 lbs is a guess. Twin toroids, big caps...
I guess the sales have slowed in Covid time, but happy to part with amp, and speakers.
Life's too short, etc..
Phil, if you're passing, get in touch! Social distance audition possible!
Chris.
