Looking for 845 Amplifier advice / ideas

[jeffreybehr]

There is a pair of pre-owned Viva Auroras currently listed on WBF. I checked with the US importer and they are confirmed late models with balanced inputs. The owner Anil is a really nice chap and would be worth talking to, especially considering the very low listing price. I love 845 amplifiers and wish you the best of luck finding yours.

WOW--I bought those last nite thru USAudioMart.com.

(Mr.? Mrs.? Ms.?) Kalagatla hasn't yet let me know the shipping charges; I imagine I'll pay everything today the 1st.. I also have a pair of quad-parallel-300B Allnic A-6000s arriving next week from the UK.. One disadvantage of the Allnic is the cost of a set of output tubes, where 8 excellent 300-Bs will cost $6200 for WEs and more for a few others.. Anil is including lots of extra tubes so there's advantage there.

Hi all,

I'm a long time silent member, first time poster. Having quietly gleaned lots of useful opinion and info over the years, the time has come when it would be hugely helpful to have some sage advice on what will be a big, hopefully final, amplifier investment (famous last words, I know).

I’ve been running Icon Audio 845 monoblocks into Living Voice OBX-RW3s and having thoroughly enjoyed them, I know there’s more. The speakers will remain due to domestic acceptability and as I’m generally happy – I may upgrade to RW4s or maybe even something else, but not imminently.

Yes indeed--what did you buy and/or do?
