richieb Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 As great as they sound together I just have too many amps with additional monoblocks arriving yet this week, so these need a new home. Custom built by Bill Baker from Response Audio these are a superb sounding 6 watt EL84 single ended amp/preamp combo, in beautiful Baltic Birch. $1400/offer (amp+preamp) Sold as the pair power amp / - 2x - new 7189 output tubes from the Tube Store "Preferred Series". Killer tubes. - 6 watt choke filtered power supply based on a 5U4 rectifier tube - Mundorf teflon bypass caps - cryo silver plated copper wiring power and pre amp - twin analogue meters for tube ouput pre-amp / - Class A 12au7 line stage - V-cap oil output caps; V-cap teflon bypass - Gold Point stepped attenuator Obviously these pieces go together like peanut butter and jelly. Very smooth, detailed and remarkably powerful for 6 watts. These have run my ZU Essence (sold), Quartets, RB75, KP450/EV (Frankenstein) and Khorns. Actually a bigger sound stage and close in detail to my Wright 2a3's and may actually be smoother. I will also sell a pair of Oak Quartets ($375) as a package deal for someone in the KC area that can pick up the entire kit. Package price can be discussed. I can email all the pics you need via email. Thanks in advance Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am not a tube guy so I can't intelligently comment on your amp sale, but giving the buyer the chance to pick up a set of Quartets for $375 is quite the bargain for someone!

richieb Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 ^^^^^ Thanks WVU - yeah I think $375 is fair for Quartets but had no takers when I offered them going to Hope. And like said in the ad someone can have a near turn key rig, less a source, for a real good price. And the amp makes the Quartets sound huge. A nice little rig for the discerning Klipsch tube-o-phile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 ^^^^^ No, but I'll have a look to see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
