The beautiful sound of eight EL34's in full flight is both a musical and enriching experience. Hear what can be achieved for under $2,500.00. The K4040 is in as new condition and has only been used as a demo unit. A spectacular looking unit with the chrome platted chassis and classic open architecture of retro valve amplifiers of the 50's and 60's the appearance of this unit is sure to impress all.

With a potent 90 Watts/CH of power on tap this amplifier is rarely taxed by common loudspeaker loads available today. Drive it hard or let it quietly sing in your system this versatile amplifier offers so much for it's modest price point you will wonder why you didn't try one sooner. 
 

For most of us, a high power tube amplifier is unaffordable. This amp changes that, so that now everybody can enjoy that powerful and lush "tube sound". The sound of tubes has never been surpassed, neither by transistors nor by FETs. In the course of developing this amplifier, special attention was given to the housing so that the tubes are on display in a way that is very pleasing to the eye. The weakest point of an tube amplifier are the output transformers; that's the reason why we use ultra-linear and over-rated toroidal output transformers to guarantee a rich bass response. To extend the life of the precious valves, the amplifier is provided with an switch on delay, so that the high voltage is switched on when the tubes are warmed up.
