Metaxas Audio Systems (MAS) Iraklis Power Amp - Vintage Masterpiece!

This amp is a true vintage masterpiece. Just read the reviews:

"With this amplifier, some instruments which until now were previously hidden by others, appear in all their richness of timbre, with expressivity. The ambience of the concert halls, the reverberation of the cathedral's atmosphere with a sense of air, are one by one reproduced with realism, with a three dimensional effect which transcribes with precision each technique of producing the sound.
The IRAKLIS is an amplifier in the grand class that one must absolutely discover; but beware, once you have experienced it, you won't want to leave it".
- Jean Hiraga/Patrick Vercher, LA NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON, France.

"The Metaxas gave an effortless, polished sound for choir recordings and reproduced voices very smoothly without the slightest trace of harshness. One almost felt reminded of an excellent tube amplifier".
- M.Kucera, SOUND MAGAZINE, Switzerland.

"... after half an hour the Iraklis, is capable of giving a sonic performance close to excellent, with one or two state of the art touches in terms of imaging and midrange transparency. Although quite versatile in terms of functions and real output power (they drive difficult loudspeakers such as the 3 Ohm Thiel with authority), where they really look unbeatable is with small high class speakers, assuming a careful set up; both with the Acoustic Energy AE1 and the ROGERS LS3/5a where they provided a performance of intoxicating vivacity and solidity, with a deep and wide soundstage, especially with vinyl".
- Gianfranco Machelli, STEREO, Italy.

"Only the IRAKLIS was able to arrange the musical images even better to the point where you reached the perfect illusion. Rating: Absolute Spitzenclasse Class A."
- Johnnes Maier, STEREOPLAY, Germany.

The Iraklis in close to mint condition. It comes from my personal collection of vintage hi-end gear.

Typical MAS - pure, fast, with a bass slam of 1000W amp!

The amp may be only 50W/8Ohm, 100W/4Ohm, but thanks to 2kW power transformer sounds like a real monster.
