These where my first step in to the world of SET amps, unfortunately I have falling further into the abbess and have been bitten by the 45 SET bug.  Only selling amps to fund a much more expensive set of 45 monoblocks.

$8800.00

Best wishes for a quick sale.  Someone is going to be a very happy buyer.

Does sound quite heavenly!   I have been toiling over this decision for months now.  The Aristotles at 96dB really sing and have tremendous punch/full sound with the Thoress 845s.  I will be giving up a good portion of the punch/full sound in the short term but this is a long game move.  Will be moving into 45 SET monoblocks, then 2-3 years Horning Eufrodite.  The current version is 101 dB sensivity and sing with 45 SETs.  Has nothing to do with the Thoress amps not performing just a different flavor  (if you look carefully in one pic you can see my Thoress Preamp which is going nowhere.

Hi,
I use the same combo as you preamp/845 and I just can say that it sounds pretty good.
We compared those blocks against expansive Nagra before buying them, no shame, far much better IMHO.
So if you need juice for your speaker grab a bargain!

Why you don't ask Reinhard to make you two 45 mono's?
