Outstanding condition overall - the condition will please even the most discerning audiophile. A customer brought in a Sonic Frontier Power 3 power amp with a broken rotary switch. it also gives me a new reason to buy loudspeakers, i am looking at Silverline Audio ,Audio another digital source and maybe i will even get a turntable while i am at it. Etc and it was just a matter of timing and luck that i picked the SFS 80 for my 2nd two channel rig. Of course, the factory’s original tubes are always kept. Six NOS Amperex 6922 and two matched pairs NOS 1960 TUNG SOL D Getter 5687 are currently installed. Power output: 110W continuous into 8, 4, and 2 ohms. i have been looking at the more recent Audio Research designs, BAT and SonicFrontiers. Sonic Frontiers power 2 power amplifier has accumulated a good reputation for a long time. Hey Emlyn, i like tubes but i dont like them to sound too sweet or overly euphonic and this is the reason i wanted one of the more modern type tube circuit designs. Funny thing is, the Classe Model 25 solid state amp I just picked up from Troy is almost a dead ringer from top to bottom in sound quality for the Power 2 with 6550 tubes in it. I occasionally use a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 in the winter, which is a later model and spec'd just a bit higher in output than the 80 model. Chris Johnson's amps tend to sound more controlled across the frequency range like solid state designs, but have less "air" than other tube amp designs. You don't really need to look for high efficiency speakers because the power output levels and control are there with a Sonic Frontiers amp. With Sonic Frontiers gear, the design intent all along was to provide a tube replacement choice for those who would normally use high power solid state gear. the guy still has another one just like it that he is Keeping for himself, he was originaly using the pair of them in a biamp setup.i cant wait to hook her up to the Lorelei's and see what she sounds like thanks.WCW III he is the original owner and he bought it new from a Sonic Frontiers dealer in 1997. this is the only SFS 80 i have ever seen with the black faceplate, i saw it last night right after it posted and i Knew that i had to have it, i Googled images for it and they only show it with the gold has the original box and packing, tube cage, and manual and the guy is also sending me an extra Quad of Tesla KT88s with it. yeah Dennis i dont care for the Gold faceplates either, as a matter of fact i have been eyeballing the SFS 80s on Agon for the past two years and i was reluctent to pull the trigger because of the gold faceplates. This 2nd rig with the tube amp is going to get a pair of nice Tube friendly speakers.maybe some Silverline Sonatas or Sonatinas ,i love the way these speakers look and they are supposed to be a match made in Heaven with tube power.
