Some of you may recall my talking about some new tube amps from Radii Audio.
There had been a few delays and extra time in R&D.
Finally, this morning the FedEx guy shows up with three LARGE boxes. He is whining about the weight and the steps
I haul in the boxes and start unpacking. I had no idea what these would look like when I ordered them. I spec'ed out what I wanted, to match with the VMPS speakers and based on the stereo power amp.
I think they look really good
They are 75 watts output. Class A. They have 2) JJ 12AU7s for drivers and 4) JJ EL-34s. They have very nice gold binding posts for each tap at 4, 8 and 16 ohm. Coupling caps are paper in oil. Each tube has its own bias control that can be seen on the digital readout on the front of the amp. The readout can also be switched off.
I have three of them now to use with my front channels. I will be bringing a pair of these to demo at VSAC. They will be added to the website as soon as break-in is done and I am happy with the sound. Ballpark pricing is $1,000.00 per amp.
Here is a pair of them happily heating up my room
