Kit amp, not that great.

Matamp for years made the Orange guitar amps by hand in Huddersfield. I visited them back in the late 90s to talk about them building hifi amps.
They only built a handful of hifi amps afaik but they are a long way from being a kit amp.

About 10 of those according to the description.

It is a kit amp design and I have heard two sets extensively. Very average, the last one I saw sold was 40% less then that price.

Those are monoblocs. Did you see one or two sell?

Pairs you tit

It’s a Mullard design. Well implemented and with good quality parts I imagine it can sound great. And it’s probably easy to get support, as it’s a well known circuit.

That said, I agree that it looks somewhat overpriced.

Yeah I imagine at some point an offer would need to be accepted.

Nice little set of speakers with hour and twenty minutes to go.

For the trades people on here

@crimsondonkey should buy these instead of those Boenicke horrors.

These are a fairly flexible set of good quality Mic transformers that also lend themselves to MC cartridge use. You can set the ratio at various points between 1:12 and 1:40

I have a set & they do sound very nice. Quite easy to mount in a box & wire up.

for those who love boenicke
a showroom visit

this is rather nice but from the description its had testicles removed !

Yes it’s Elite Audio but it’s a great price. Audio destination have a ex dem one for £2195 so £1295 sounds like a potential bargain.

I was tempted, but a new house alarm has fucked that.

yes looks excellent , curious its 1295 on ebay and 1795 on their site . normally other way round !!
