Must confess I have not even heard of it . Seen lots of reviews on vincent stuff. Seems very good vfm and wanted to try the 237 integrated. Be worth trying some of their pre amps . What has sparked your interest?

Vincent make some very good equipment and the SA96 pre-amp and SP-996 mono-block power amps I think were their top SS amps. I see that same dealer is selling a pair of NOS mono-blocks for £1099, I think they stopped making them in 2013, from what I have read I believe both are very good.Originally Posted by Haselsh1
I had a Vincent integrated amp on loan from a friend for 6 weeks and it was extremely good both in build and sound quality.
So if you are feeling flush, as a complete system it could be a very good buy.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

I had their SP 991 mono blocks which apart from being very large and heavy were very well put together and sounded excellent. I ran them with their pre amp. SA 91. All worked flawlessly whilst I had them and would have them again. At one point I used one of their two box photos which was also very good.
