That Lenco amp reminds me of the Metrosound one, I wonder.Originally Posted by walpurgis
Just looked at a photo of a Metrosound ST20, no it's quite different. Seem to remember that it was not a bad little amp.

Funny that occurred to you. The same crossed my mind when I looked at the photos.
Metrosound was good Hi-Fi at the lower price end of the market. Many years ago, I had a friend who used an ST60 (the one with the sliders and 'mid' control) driving a pair of KEF Cadenzas. They sounded pretty decent together.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Yes, remember the ST60, never owned one though.
My friend had a ST20 and two Videoton Minimax speakers, sounded pretty good, and I'm sorry to say has outlasted him.
On similar lines was the EMI 15-15 Amp. I still have one of these, although not with EMI badge on, I wonder if you remember who bought up all the discontinued parts and re-badged them? I will be surprised if you know the answer!

Nope, but a good guess.

Unusual reincarnation of a TD150. Optimistically priced.

You have got colder, Amstrad was nearer the mark. Unless of a certain age, you might not know anyway.

Hmm.. EMI worked closely with a few British companies in the 60s like Armstrong,Decca Quad etc but the most likely may be Leak
