These are wonderful sounding amps now offered with KT150 tubes!

The new Silver 88 brings the finesse and transparency of low powered tube amplifiers into the realm of less efficient speakers. Employing only two output tubes, this circuit provides 80 watts KT88's, (90 watts with KT150's) without stressing or pushing these tubes to their limit, and with the lowest output impedance and distortion of all the Quicksilver amplifiers, the Silver 88 brings a new level of performance to this power range.

An on-board bias meter allows individual adjustment of each output tube and, with low-noise power supplies and circuitry, the Silver 88 can still be used on very efficient speakers. Two power transformers and 180 Joules of energy storage provide effortless dynamic response, transmitting the full musical impact of sudden shifts from soft to loud. A modification of the sleek look of the V4, the Silver 88 has a chrome-plated chassis and carbide black transformer cover.
