There were several close calls, but i wind up with a pair of:
Higher Fidelity model 138

(Scroll down)
It’s a 275 watts in 8 ohm class A monster. I received it with original boxes and manuel from the first owner. All i know was that they (higher fidelity) were used as reference monoblocks by image hifi magazine. Some German hifi magazine in the 90’s.
The seller was slimming down his setup (integrated amp). He played with JBL Everest speakers and stated that they were the absolute best amps he ever heard. He used to own SA-1’s for 5 years but sold them as the Higer Fidelity were much better. He says that the only amp that played in the same league (and didn’t bested it) was a Gryphon Antilleon Evo. That last part won me over.
All i can say is, he wasn’t bullshitting. I’m nervous to put on a cd :) What is going to happen? Music listening becomes music feeling. I’m just transfixed on the couch. Especially live music. It matches perfectly with the fet 10e soundwise! Like they were made for each other.
My tech is going to look them over thoroughly soon, and they will get a full recap next year or sooner. These baby’s are not going anywhere!
Price was $2950 :) total :)
