They look a bit similar to the Nagra VPA design, though considerably cheaper!

Are mono blocks a must have? If sound quality is your prime objective at reasonable price I would look at something by this gentleman who goes under the name of Fluxion
This is a power amp only and you would also need to supply your own tubes, estimate £5-600 https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/deta...a-14-watts-ch/
This is a cheaper, but still very good, intergrated https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/deta...ier-model-b-1/ again you would need to supply your own tubes, estimate £300-350
He has done loads of videos on You Tube, (so you can check up on products) I've learnt much from watching them and he seems to be very knowledgeable: I believe he's
an electrical engineer from Korea but lives in Canada, wish I'd known about him before I recently purchased a valve amp
My estimates are for purchase of tubes at a cheaper cost, but of course the skies the limit with tubes
Good luck in your search, wish I'd gone down the 300B route but was always worried if they adequately drive my speakers, I now know they would have
Sorry forgot to add, don't forget the cost of shipping

Andy if you just want a play without spending I have a pair of 300b mono' s built by Nick Gorham just sat doing nothing, in fact they only returned from Nicks last Sunday following a repair, addition of tentlabs heaters and check over. You are welcome to give them a run out, they are my backup amps so no rush to return them.

Here's a link to the same amp you linked to but on AliExpress, and if you scan down you will see different suppliers selling the same thing, prices vary as do shipping costs:
I am not in the uk at present so cannot see shipping cost to the uk: You can also spend a good afternoon going through all the amps for sale
You can also look at this site, it is where I purchased my amp from, it is run by a Mr Lee who is very helpful should you have any queries or need advice:

What a very kind offer Andy, it could save Rexton £1k if he doesn't like, alternatively he may love what the 300b's offer and then it could cost him a lot more
