Avondale Monos

Maybe a relisting, I've not checked, but open to offers.....

I have to say that I expected them to sell, but they are relisted at £50 less (800) - Avondale M130 Monoblock Amplifiers with NCC200 | eBay

Ebays funny, stick them on 99p start and they’d fly beyond £1k, probably, just that risk we don’t want to take...

For about the 4th time I think, odd.

I am at a total loss as to why these have not sold. Superb amp's. They do need speaker protection units addings - easy enough DIY, not so much ££ to have done. A small double scratch, the marks, I would bet will come off with a damp cloth
£50 cheaper now.

They are not lookers are they. If they were in a decent case they would sell for a lot more.

On the bottom shelf of a rack who cares? The newer ones have switches at the rear but that can be very inconvenient. The cases are heavy and functional. They really are fantastic amps.

D''ya know, I have never, not once, listened to what something looks like.
Weird or what?

These even take just one shelf.....

 

[Mynamemynaim]

Another hundred off the price and on they go again
MUST sell this time round

 

[Vinny]

What am I not seeing here?
The seller is ripping himself off so far as I can see. Another £50 reduction.

Says it's his grandad's, guess he just wants shot with some cash in his pocket- reckon an offer -£50-100 less would secure np

 

[Mynamemynaim]

Well they have a bid on them

But fairly sure they have been bid on and "sold" several times already....so there must be something not quite right??

 

[irb]

Just a question, possibly born of ignorance: why does the seller call them M130s when they say M1 on the back?

Well the internal boards say CAP6 and NCC200

GOOD spot! That does indicate that the seller knows something about them. Maybe why they have gained no attention?
That does not alter the fact that they are very good power amp's.

So, are these internals (CAP6 and NCC200) correct for M130s? Or M1s? I really don't know much about Avondale's stuff (as you can probably tell) and their website has nothing about their fully built amps - which I presume are no longer made/sold.

LOL - forgive me - so far as I know the power amps were never advertised/listed as such, but Les did build a few. All that matters is the component parts in them.
They are, genuinely, great power amp's (NCC300s built by Les here), but beware, they have no speaker protection, if you are interested (not a huge task or expense to fit).

 

[say it as it is]

My Les built 260z has no speaker protection, soft start but no speaker protection so don't think it's that unusual at the time

Fitted as standard since only very recently.

If there’s one amp that needs speaker protection it’s an Avondale.
