S5-Electronics-K12-Tube-Amp-Kit.JPGS-5 Electronics K-12 Tube Amplifier Kit6634 viewsThis is a S-5 Electronics K-12 Tube Amplifier Kit. I run a Cambridge Audio Azure 540C CD player into it and it feeds a pair of 70L 12" 3-ways - the classic '70's speakers - a kit from Macs Hifi ( no longer there) in Adelaide. They are very efficient as you would expect - and have been upgraded several times with new drivers and crossovers.
