Hello Tibor again.I notice you are looking at second hand amps. Please be careful. There are a lot of scams and AN stuff for sale which isn't. I spotted a pair of Conquests on ebay for sale 10 times at least, each time with a new location and buyer id, but the SAME pictures.
If it was me I would buy from Peter at AN UK or a dealer ex-dem. Or pick up only near your local. Otherwise it is mega risky. Plus you won't know how the amps have been treated. Valve gear is a bit more fragile than SS. And valve abuse or driving into unsuitable speakers is not good either.
Don't rush into it, hang on and look around. Go for newer rather than next model up.
Also, it looks expensive buying from AN new, or ex-dem, but when you get them home, you will own them for a long time, as the sound is so good. The search will be over, and it will be worth it in the long run.
Let me know how it goes.
