I am selling my Serious Stereo 2a3 monoblocks which are in great condition. These are incredible sounding amps when matched up with an efficient speaker. They put out 1-2 watts but sound like much more with incredible grip on the bass. I have used with speakers as low as 95db with very good results. Best match would be speakers around 98db up. I am including a really nice pair of Emission Labs 2a3 meshplate tubes ($550), a pair of JJ 2a3 tubes with only 20 hrs ($250) and multiple 7B4 driver tubes and several 5v3 rectifier tubes. I am selling because I decided to start downsizing my system. In doing so I went with smaller speakers that need a little more power. There is much information about these amps on the internet. They have been at many RMAF's in the Serious Stereo room as well as the Galibier room. Below is some information from the Serious Stereo website:
Perfection in wiring: It is all 100% hand-wired in 3 dimensional space, hand-secured and lab-tested. Beauty and reliability to last through the years: Each Serious Stereo amplifier is designed and built to last for decades without repair and still look and perform "like new". Fit & finish are also up to the challenge. We use High-Gloss super-tough powder coatings for all surfaces where it is possible, both inside and outside. The Serious Stereo nameplate is a sculptured brass plate. Carry-handles are forged chromium steel with grade-8 retainers held in place by locking washers and Loctite(R) bonding agents. Strong & well finished.
The best wire: 12ga. Multi-strand silver, some solid silver, all signal-handling wire is by Siltech(R)... only the best will do for your amplifier! Nothing is overlooked in our quest for the music to sound real-- lifelike.
The best signal path: To get down to the best possible signal path, we have really gotten Serious! We have only 2 stages of amplification-- each is a symmetrically-built, "perfect" triode, operated in Triode, Class-A mode. We feel that additional stages lose too much musical expression and dynamics. No coupling devices, such as interstage transformers, or capacitors are used as we feel that these items cause large signal-integrity problems and account for homogenizing, delays, and losses of musical information. Therefore, no coupling devices of any kind are used in Serious Stereo amplifiers. You are listening through silver wire, 2 symmetrical vacuum tubes, and one output transformer. CARDAS silver speaker posts route the signal to your speaker cables. This attention to detail makes all the difference. You get maximum fidelity and dynamics. Music sounds very lifelike, present and real.
The finest sound quality: The Serious Stereo amplifier is the result of years of Studio, Movie-Theatre and Home Audio experience. Its objective is to achieve the best sound qualities together with decades of component life-- with no repair ever needed. If repair ever did become nesecary it is easily accomplished.
Because of its outstanding concept and design, the amplifier is able to reproduce all the nuances, details, timing cues, emotions, attitudes, sheer "guts", glory and authority of what it is presented with-- recorded music! Absolute fidelity-to-source is its Forte, rendering piano, male and female voices virtually perfect-- palpable, present and real-- superbly lifelike in every way.
