Which Amp?
Hi All,
Just wondering which amp, power or integrated, anyone would go for from Kel 84, 5881 or the kit 88 I know it’s in the ear of the listener at the end, but an opinion would be intresting. I have the kel 84 atm but just wondering how it stacked up against the others All the best Martin |

Re: Which Amp?
Martin, have you done any upgrades to your KeL84? If you have, this might effect where you go next. I’ll explain further after your response.

Re: Which Amp?
My recommendation would be the WA88, in standard form it will beat any modification you do to the Kel, and with an uprated power supply it is subline. Bob

Was looking (thinking) about some thing for the main room as the kel is upstairs as I’ve said I have a pair of audio 405s there now Martin |

Re: Which Amp?
Hi Martin
I had a KAT 88 which I was thinking of upgrading with the sowter transformers etc. However I picked up a built WD 88VA which is a far better amplifier.(A couple of minorish problems notwithstanding.) Granted it is more expensive than the KAT 88, but I'd not change back Mark |

Well the kel 84 is Shane’s amp (I bought a month or two ago) with remote shunted volume, Jenson PIO bypass caps, soniq coupling caps, the new pcb and relay input board. It sounds good to say the least. I use it upstairs in the bedroom. I was thinking of replacing the amp in the living room, at present I have a pair of Quad 405s monoblocked. Not really wanting to do anything(yet) to the kel just thinking of something downstairs Hope that helps. Martin |
