jhawk92 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Anyone here know anything about the Radii KT-88 tube amps? There is a pair here local that I might check out. Seller in the paper says they are 25wpc, though doesn't give a model number. Ad says they are new/mint, and asking $500 for the pair. I found the website, www.radaudio.com. I thought they might be the GS-40PP, but those are 40wpc. No prices on the web, so I can't tell if this pair would be a good deal. Any thoughts from the forum?

NOSValves Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 For $500 I would at least go give them a look ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougdrake Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Rob - I've seen that ad also. Been running for over a week, now. I wonder if they are the GS-25PP on the Tuner Guy's site at $1100 new/pair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Rick- Yeah, I did a search on Audiogon and found several things from The Tuner Guy. Seems like pretty good amps, but I wish there was a bit more info on them. Doug- Hmm, over a week in the paper? I just saw it today. I thought they might be the GS-25PP also, but the seller specifically mentions the KT-88 tubes. So, if that's the case, they could be a good deal. I may try to reach the guy tomorrow and clarify the actual model number and see where he is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 If these are the lil' guys, they sure are decent looking monoblocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawk92 Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 JT- That's interesting. Do you know if the ones in your photo are 25wpc since they have only one KT-88? Have you heard them? I can't quite make out the model number. Do you have it handy? The ones on the radaudio website show two KT-88s per side. Maybe we have an interesting thing here.

jhawk92 Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Craig- IIRC, your VRDs are KT-88 based? I'm sure NOS tubes are hard to find and expensive, but would newer KT-88 or 6550 tubes be a good bargin? I checked out the Tube Store, and they have a pretty good selection at what seems to be reasonable prices. No word from the seller yet, though have left voice mail.
