I shall say I was pleasantly surprised by the audio quality. It is being used with a Cambridge Dacmagic 200M , Ifi streamer and Rogers LS7 . It really sounds excellent and makes an excellent basis to be the amplification for someone’s first hifi system . I have many systems and all have their attributes, but for the price this amp is excellent value. No noise, no hum, very sweet involved valve sound . The build quality is Spartan , but the sound is not. Would not hesitate to purchase another . Thanks Douglas ( hi fi enthusiast for 50 years)

Product has arrived on time,excellent quality. Is it normal for the center transformer to get hot, left and right one are cold to the touch.

If you haven't heard a Single Ended amplifier before you need to. Why? Simple design, the least number of components between the source material and the output tube, a single component amplifying the music. Result? Sonic purity, clean accurate reproduction that is an utter joy. The output of the Willsenton R80I 300B 845 amp is about 20 watts; which is huge for a single-ended amplifier. Match it with speakers that have a sensitivity above 90db and this thing rocks. I have a set of Klipschorns with 105db sensitivity and have yet seen the output meters move! The price is brilliant, total value for money and without a doubt the best way to purchase one of the best SE amps I have ever owned.

I'm very happy with this tube amplifier! Great price fast delivery, excellent product with great sound and build quality!!!

Big sound from compact speakers, from time to time I looked up in amazement thinking, this kind of bass can not be coming from these little speakers? Soundstaging is good, extension in depth is also good. For a fraction of the price of the "real" ones which are now old, you can enjoy LS3/5A speakers.

Great build quality, amplifier is optically pleasing, even out of the box it sounds fantastic, voices sound magical and small sparkles in the music attract attention like never before. I have only listened to one album, so the sound will even improve, which is hard to believe. If you like tube amplifiers, give this one a chance. Listening on two-way monitor speakers of medium sensitivity. Even on a low volume setting the volume is sufficient, my room is 8 x 6 meters.

Got this little baby a few weeks ago, just sitting in the darkness and listening to CD:s! Very good sound quality, strong base! Running it on my Dali Concept 10:s, at normal listening volume, no discotheque, but quite loud. No brainer, just buy it!

I was in the opportunity to buy a NOS Soundartist LS3/5A from a guy who "upgraded" to a Rogers model. So originally very well packed I would like to try the sound of this BBC monitor. The finish was Rosewood and I must say it is well done. Also the connectors are very well made. I have tried these little gems on different amplifiers. A J.L.H. 10Watt Class A amp. An NAD C352 115Watt amp and a heavy modified Dynavox TPR-3 tube pre amp with an ET-100 power amp from 60Watt. I think the DMOS blocks Dynavox ET-100 were not bad at all, now equipped with a DC protect. The monitor boxes are excellent for acoustic type music, very well in the mid- and high range. Do not try them on a high level sound. Apart from the relative low efficiency (83dB/W/m), and 11 Ohm will limit the ouput of your amplifier too. But the overall sound is very good, in fact amazing for this amount of money. There are only a very few loudspeakers in such a small case who can replicate this performance. I have them now two years and every time it is for sure my favorite.

Product is GREAT!!!!!!
