LF: Entry Level Stereo Amp
« on: August 29, 2010, 07:46:25 pm »
Hi

I'm looking for a stereo amp for my B&W CM1's. I use the speakers as nearfield monitors but also in a more regular way. Basically I use them at low and medium volume, from close and a distance. Also use PC for audio and vinyl.

So I'm looking for a class A amp or a valve amp. I would prefer a decent valve amp to be honest. I will accept anything though and am not too fussy.

I'm looking to spend +- R4500. Preferable less, but I can push the budget slightly.

Jonathan.

PM sent regarding someone selling a Xindak amp for R4000. Just helping the person sell it, since he's not a forum member.  Anyone seriously interested in it can PM me, and I'll forward his details to you.  Aluminium/Silver in finish, excellent condition.  Serious buyers only.  Don't want to dish his details out unnecessarily.

Acram looks interesting, but the Xindak looks even more interesting. Have messaged both!

Thanks for all the reply's.

The other amp is a Xindak XA6200.  An excellent buy at R4000.  Below is a pic.  Anyone who is interested can contact Rafe at 083 452 4555.

Yep, the one and only.  So buy this amp from a Celeb :D.  His stuff is very well cared for.  I'd have taken the amp, if I hadn't already bought one that I'll be collecting next month in CT.  A great guy, with an awesome collection of music!  Rafe also has a turntable up for sale.  Check out his ad on avsa

I just remember his deep voice late night on Radio 5... Amazing all the old Radio 5 DJ's that are now 'presenters' on either FMR or Classic FM...

I really want it. Sadly my R4k budget has been put back till next month. If it is still available then it will surely be mine!

So nobody else buy it okay!!!

Or buy it now and sell it to me on the 25th...

You could offer to put down a non-refundable deposit of R2k, and pay the balance in a month's time.  That way the seller can tick off the item as sold, and the buyer secures the item.  I've done many deals this way.  You'll just have to note the deposit is non-refundable, and the buyer reserves the right to sell the item if - for any reason - the buyer doesn't come up with the balance on the agreed-upon date.  Unfortunately there are many people who mess around, so this is my personal approach.  Hope it helps
