EXCELLENT CONDITION. Semi-open-backed design with a unique oval port to deliver tight low-frequency sound. Celestion V-Type 12 inch 70 watt speaker, 2 input sockets, recessed top handle, easy 13.6 kg weight.
Builders Notes. We had alot of fun building these. The initial run of 4 allowed us to experiment with the different tone and coupling caps as well as different voltages out of the amp all in a effort to find that sweet spot. Theres a lot of conjecture on the net about the fixed biased settings on these amps which runs the op tube fairly hot. Its all misleading and best left as is because it sounds best the way it is. Why compromise the sound. What we have achieved is an absolute delight. The amp runs the op tube in class a which delivers unadulterated organic tone and when shes pushed the breakup is rich and harmonically sweet. The choice of speaker was a no brainer. The Jensen P8R like its alnico peers delivers a wonderful evenly balanced sound. Theres no woolly bass or bright tops. This is a magic little amp and we're very happy with what weve achieved.
