Stunning amplifiers in stunning condition with the rarer silver trim strips (personally I find the gold trim too bling). Main photo here, more below.

£875 £795 for the pair, I will only split if I get offers of well over half this for one unit. 🤔
 
Absolutely mint apart from a tiny nick to the top trim of the power amp - see close-up photo.
 
(Snowdrops not included. PM me if interested. We can work something out).
All indicator lights working; no humming, buzzing or whatever. Both pre and power are full dual mono; they're both (I've never felt a pre-amplifier weigh this much!) reassuringly heavy due to large transformers and really feel like they mean business. Crikey, even the gorgeous speaker terminals shout "quality". Pre has a great MM/MC phono stage.

Fabulous separation and soundstage. Crisp treble, powerful bass.

Printed user manual x2 (downloaded). Power cables (generic) provided. No remote control, no original boxes.
Kegworth is the obvious logistics solution here. Otherwise collection only because they're heavy and I'm extremely reluctant to risk damage during shipping. Message me if this is a showstopper as you'll need to be prepared to take the delivery risk and cost yourself. Sorry, but been there done that; it's not personal!

Lovely pre/power set up that does indeed look better than the blingy gold trim. Very good, musical Amps. Glws

I used to have the intergrated amp, which was built like a tank and sounded great.

Shamless plug....but I've just posted on here my MF A3 CD player for sale if anyone wanted the matching set!

Not matching! Don't reply here as it will distract from our ads but yours has the gold trim. GLWS

Bingo! I thought yours was the gold trim but you've taken another pic and it was clearly just a reflection from table/wall. So... if anyone is looking for a CD player to match my lovely pre/power then you know what to do.

I've been asked on the 'bay whether I'd sell just the power amp. I've suggested he gets creative and either makes me an offer I can't refuse or buys the pairing and sells on the pre.

If anyone here is looking for just the pre, let me know. As long as I move both on, I don't mind if they head off in different directions. Though it would be a shame.

A kind offer but (a) I'm kinda maxed out on speakers and (b) this pair of amps just sold on the 'bay. I haven't marked them as SOLD here yet because I'm awaiting payment... and confirmation that the guy really did understand that they were for collection only! He's only 50 miles away so I live in hope...

Pop in to see me and my Albatrosses in my Kegworth room.

Excellent, you'll love it. Arrive earlyish as it will take more time to get around the rooms than you think (there are usually one or two you want to go back to, too).

No, sorry, interest among my hifi friends is more in the Quad electrostatics I'm afraid. Nice speakers, so GLWTS.
