in For sale
Hi all
Just put it out on hear to see if anyone is interested iny seca that Colin made for me.
He did a fantastic job his workman ship is out of this world.
I am selling it as I belive I need more poke and to drive the speakers that I have.
The amp drives sensitive speakers with ease.
Pleases massage and post if your interested and all your thoughts are welcome.

    Are you still using SBL's ?

    IIRC they are 88db, 6 ohm load.They certainly arn't difficult to drive.

    I've had decent levels off them with a mk1 Nait (15w)

    How big is your room ?
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    No not using them now. Rooms not that big.
    But I didn't think it drove them early anoth.
  • quickiequickie
    So what you running now then ?

    If you like the sound of the SECA, I would stick with it, and find some speakers to suit.

    Good luck what ever you decide to do :)


  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    I have a pair of lumley speakers lms500

    I do like the sound but I still believe it needs more.
    Thanks quickie :)

    Shame

    Yes it is Colin.

    How you feeling my friend any better.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Personally I'd keep the amp and ditch the speakers.

    But someone's going to get a fantastic amp.
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    So what speakers do you use?
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Little chaps - Royd RR3s.

    By reputation, pretty picky on amp quality, though.

    @Alan has been having a lot of fun with some Triangle floorstanders with a similar SECA (actually, two monos). A search on Chews should tell you which ones he has.
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    Oh OK. I may have a look. Thanks.

    Hi all
    So amp is still for sale.
    Very very nice amp in fantastic condition.
    Poor Colin who built it is not very well at the moment and I don't want to keep on at him to fulfil my needs.
    Many thanks.
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    Hi forgot to say I'm only looking to get half of what I paid for the amplifier. Many thanks.
  • mikeybmikeyb

    Oh really, three amps for you all now up for sell or sold. As I suspect a spy for TQ >:)
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    No Colin I'm not a spy for tq. I just don't like bothering you when your not well.
  • AntiCrapAntiCrap
    NO spy he he >:)
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    How you feeling Colin.
  • cj66cj66
    Someone's going to get a very nice amp for a bargain price. If it was higher power, say 30/40w, I'd be tearing your arm off for it!
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    Well its close to 30w ask Colin he will tell you the full spec.
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    This was Colin posted about mine ...

    "Just went into the PIT and did check Ben we should be getting about 30+W/ch into 8 Gnomes and 38+W into 4 Gnomes" (my spakers are 4 ohms) a few posts down by yer...
    (As posted elsewhere moments ago, the midrange drive units on my (93dB) speakers break up before the amp does. Absolutely no problem with a lack of amp power from the One4 in my setup).

    Not sure how those figures relate to justshoemark's... What case is yours...? I think I remember Colin saying that the oversized heatsinks on the one I ended up using meant that it's able to handle a bit more power...? I ended up getting slightly larger toroids (can't remember if by accident or (Colin) design.
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    I belive it's the same case Ben.
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    Righto. Then it's possible (likely?) that Colin would have adjusted the current adjust accordingly (ie to the same levels)...?
    Obviously I have no idea what he actually did. I'm sure he could confirm or otherwise when he's feeling better.
  • justshoemarkjustshoemark
    My seca is now sold. Many thanks
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    Someone's got a nice Christmas present. :-)

    Thanks for letting us know.
