I have a limited production run of new integrated valve amplifiers and are making these available for a very competitive price. These amplifiers are made by us here in NZ and we export these world wide. They are beautifully constructed and milled from a solid block of aluminium. They sound and look amazing! Our usual retail price is $870 per amp and for a very limited time I will make these available for just $640 each. At this price these won't last long.

The X8 amplifier has everything you need to make your music sound exceptional. Just add speakers! It has a high res DAC, Bluetooth stage, Phone pre amp and 100 Watt power amp. The Valve stage adds warmth and depth to the sound stage.

Recently Witchdoctor has recently published a review giving this amplifier a 9/10 rating:
