Built by Joe Henry to a very high standard using good components and very attractive and sturdy cases (that match/exceed most commercially available stuff IMO).
25W of class A magic. And yet the heatsinks get only slightly warm to touch. Simply superb engineering.
Hand on heart, of all the many amps I've owned over the years, these are my favourites. Never has my jaw dropped like it did on first hearing these hooked up to my Tune Audio Anima horns. The first word that came to my mind was 'holographic'. A truly beautiful, beautiful sound that I've been enjoying for the last few years.
So why on earth am I selling? Because I've just gone fully active, with 8x mono amps. I simply couldn't justify having 8x valve or SS class A amps. So Joe Henry built 8x class AB amps for me. Amp for amp, the F5 is better than my new amps... but there's simply no substitute for having the amp connected directly to the driver!
I think Joe would make you a pair of these (with the same components) for around £1300. He has a pair on eBay right now for £950, but with lesser components (still an absolute bargain, IMO).
My price is £550 firm. I'm almost inclined to give a money back guarantee on these, they're that good... but I won't
. But I can assure you that if you take a punt of these, you'll be sooo happy you did.No boxes, so strictly collection only from Leamington Spa (way too close to Coventry for comfort, but c'est la vie).
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Cheers,
Mani.
