--UPDATE 5/7/20--  Replaced all power tubes with new issue Tungsol 6550 from upscale audio.  The recent set of KT88 still have some life left in them, just looking to change up the signature some, and a very nice subtle difference.  Think of running in triode mode with full power output.  Anyway, included in sale is the old set of KT88s to the buyer.
VTL Siegfried Reference Monoblock Amplifier Pair in 8/10 condition. Been paired with the finest electronics and loudspeakers since owned.  They have been absolutely wonderful to live with, zero drama owning and running tubes.  These make owning tubes a real pleasure, and safe!  Reason for sale is I am going big hitter solid state which will suit my system better as I change it up here and the proceeds of this sale will go to the next gen stuff.
I have all the original wood crates, inserts, toolkit, 3-ring binder owners manual, and if my price is met, I'll throw in the amplifier stands for free. Due to the huge weight of these, I'll be looking for a local sale first. I have the Gold Lion KT88 power tubes which i purchased two sets of 12 from Upscale Audio and some spares. I had them matched, even though the auto-bias on the amps takes care of that for you, I figure the closer the tolerances across each kept to a minimum would help. You can play around with kt88 or 6550 tubes to your hearts content and tailor that sound. Also in there now are '60s RCA 6350 matched tubes and Amperex 1950s 12AT7 ultra-low microphonic tube in each monoblock I purchased from Vintage Tube Services (used them for a long time, best of the best in the industry) I also have some Mullard 12AT7s as well, so you can tailor your sound how you like to match your electronics and loudspeakers. These have been hooked up to dedicated isolated 20amp circuits, each on their own breaker.

I'd prefer to do a local, in-person deal. Those that wish to demo or inspect the system in person are welcome, please reply to the ad. I can ship, but it is up to the buyer to arrange freight. I'll get them into the crates and strapped down internally (there are two of them, each on their own skid) and out to the lift gate, but from there it's the buyer's responsibility. This will save you a bit of cash since you won't need 'white glove' service, just a liftgate at my residence. I've used Old Dominion and YRC Freight in the past, super companies to deal with and no drama.

Been asked a few times, final QA of build and burn-in was 5/11/06. In addition, VTL recommends replacement-for the power tubes every 3000 hours or so, but your mileage will vary.  Current set of gold lion kt88s have about 2000 hours, so plenty of time left on those. Thanks.
