Monarchy SM-70 Amp - Price:
$335 shippedThe Monarchy SM-70 is a 25wpc pure class A stereo amp. It is small in size but built like a tank. It is a very smooth sounding amp that has been described as tube like. The sound has lots of detail, is very dynamic, and exhibits excellent imaging. I personally had it running a pair of Stone Image Audio Rothschilde A2s and it was a perfect pairing.
As this is a class A amp this thing runs hot, the heat sinks are not just for show. In addition, be aware that this is a high gain amp, and works best with low/no gain pres or passives. I used it with a Promitheus TVC to good effect (also for sale).
Condition:This is the older version (which has better cosmetics, and is supposed to have better sound) of this amp. The faceplate is clean but there are a few slight scuffs on the top plate. See pics on
Flickr for details.
Terms:Accepting Paypal Gift, Paypal, or USPS money order. I do not have the original box though this will be shipped double boxed and include a 6ft power cord. I have additional feedback on
Audiogon. For sale in the US only.
