That is too bad!
It looks so beautiful but with sad history long time ago.
Thanks a lot Stereo5 for your comment

Is this an excellent value?
https://www.hifi-amplifiers.com/en/yaqin-ms845-mono-block-power-amplifier-preamp-preamplifier-p-733....
I happened to come across this listing by chance!
This appears to be an excellent value.
Two mono SET 845 25W amplifiers and Pre amplifier at 2551$.
It also can be wired for 120V power.
But I had never heard of company called "Yaqin "before.
What is your opinion on this combo?
The specs are as follows.
Output Power: 25W + 25W (8Ω)
Distortion: ≤ 2.5% (1kHz)
Frequency response: 10Hz - 40kHz (-2dB)
SNR: ≥ 86dB (A)
Input Sensitivity: ≤ 0.2V
Load Impedance: 4Ω - 8Ω
Tubes: preamp: 12AX7 × 2 12AU7 × 1
power amp : 12AU7 × 2 845 × 1
Power Voltage: AC110V/220V 60Hz/50Hz
Volume: preamp: 275mm x 195mm x 390mm (D x W x H)
power amp: 315mm x 395mm x 435mm (D x W x H)
Gross weight: preamp: 12kg
Powe amp: 28kg x2 (a pair) = 56 kg

If you want to get into a higher-power triode SET amp, it's hard to fault Yaqin or Valve Angel on a bang-for-buck basis, You might want to look at Bottlehead or Decware, too, And as roberjerman said above, speaker efficiency is key. Get a set on the 90s, they're available now, and some are really affordable. |
http://media.slrclub.com/1809/10/s07CCj42dv666msrqgf.jpgMy speakers are supposed to have efficiency of 99db/W but I believe it to be around 92 still not bad. But my listening space is pretty big so I need at least 40 Watts of Power. Thus I am more inclined to Line Magnetic 508. |
"Get a pair of Heresy's. Efficiency 99db at 1 watt!" They are rated at 96db 1 watt/4 feet, and Klipsch is well known for their rating's being rather uhh, well, optimistic we'll say. But they are very efficient. None the less. I like my Klipsch speakers. I have at least a couple in my pile, but I take their frequency response (at both ends), and sensitivity specs with a grain of salt. |
