    Default Lavardin IS - amazing hi end amplifier

    One of my favourites amps ever.
    Neutral but sweet and warm with great soundstage, and fantastic microdycnamics, and resolution. Best match with JM Lab speakers, but also great with classic BBC sound, Audio Note, Tannoy, but not best mach with warmer speakers like Spendor.

    Fully working condition, little scratch on top panel (pls see pictures below)
    Personal pickup: East Tilbury, but shipping also possible.

    Price: 1350GBP

    Thank you.

    Today I've visited my friend who owns Klipsch La Scala II
    Lavardin is great match with Klipsch herritage speakers. Great contour, energy, with slightly rounded edges

    Default Critical dimension request

    Hi - would be possible to measure distance from front of volume control to rear binding post? I checked the Lavardin webpage but wasn't clear if depth included the controls & binding posts. Thanks!
