I'll try to remember to plan an expedition into the wilds of my loft to recover the Sonatas. I'll pop them over to you for a trial, assuming they still play well.
Probably better still with some simple tweaks like cabinet bracing, lambs fleece wadding, new capacitor and wiring inside.
I pulled all the standard wadding out of my JPW mini monitors and thought they sounded better (more open and dynamic iirc...). I didn't try anything else in there tho.

A couple of hamsters or gerbils are recommended on some forums Ben.
I Whatsapp'ed Colin to say: "There's an Inca Design power amp ending on eBay today, in Taunton, who is it? It's title is: Excellent IncaTech pure class A 25 watt power amplifier. I just emailed a link. 6 hours to go, £250!"
Followed by: "It's an odd one. Still has the old binding posts. Output devices have been changed on one side, in fact the whole pcb may have been swapped."
This is the reply (verbatim) from Colin, to which I added or implied nothing:

We have 3 gerbils. Good. I always like having a spare unit when it comes to speakers.
That was probably my old one, which I did a swap on for the Toca you have now Ben, plus another one of Colins SECA amps and some TQ cable IIRC.
I originally bought it on Ebay along with the ID1P pre around 13 years ago now, and I actually had an email from the guy I bought it from a few years back wanting to buy it back off me

Seems like an amp one remembers! :-D TOCA still here Paul! Great amp. I don't actually use it ATM, but can't bring myself to part with it. I did need some funds last summer, so sold the ID25 to Merv though.

Your never forget your first love, or class a amp in this case
There was two Dreadnought, all should be Blue not Black, the 300W/ch was a monster, the 200W was a beast made in the early 1980,s by wait for it Elsdon Wonfor Ltd.
I have somewhere reviews by Martin Column and Malcolm Stewart I dig them out. There were designed for studio work and were then one of the most powerful MOSFET amps close to the Magnum A100 but much better. I sold my 300W and Tannoy Buckinghams to a ITV .
The top is a a iss 5 or 6. The bottom is not worth £100 let alone this silly price it is a iss1 But the MC is not good. Sorry it also needs a severe upgrade. We have a DEMO new one here chat with Alan.
Oh just a note "Applications for the 2022 Queen's Awards for Enterprise open on May 1, 2021." So you have to apply GM cheating again.
cj66 silly money, new max price was £345, crazy people Now if it was a TOCA 300W mono pair in Blue Granite £30K would be cheap. New sold for £120K a pair, crazy.

A steal at 100 quid!
Summat funny going on here.

Beefy looking thing from JVC. Looks like an industrial estate on miniature!
Wouldn't last long against an M50 though.
That's a lot of Class A power at a fair price.

Impulse H6 with crossover tweakery and upgrades by Paul Coupe (RFC). Just sitting there for £900. Now does that seen right to you?
But I'm not in the market for a pair of H6s. I've been there 20-odd years ago.
This looks like new! I need it, but I want it...
