I really need to update our website, the pictures are extremely out of date. Build quality has improved a fair bit over the years and the amplifiers feature a valve-runaway protection circuit.
The only reason I don't have an STA25 is that my Duevel Venus speakers are not the kind of load with which it is ideally paired. Speaker choice comes before amplifier choice, especially when omnis are your thing.
If I had room (and the budget) for a serious second/alternative system, it would be Tannoy Cheviots (or maybe John Howes Quarter Waves... or one Voigt corner horn) driven by a Radford. I can dream...
My favourite story about these amps is as follows.
...all eccentric hifi types, music lovers and electronics geeks, opinionated middle aged men - you know the sort.

I’ve heard hi fi people say that the output transformers on these amps are so good they’ll drive anything.
I listened to mine yesterday. It is an astonishingly good amp.
