I use Heresy IIIs with a Dennis Had SEP amp with something like 12 watts per side...maybe 10 with my current KT77 tubes. He seems to be making only lower power SETs these days, including a recent listing (Ebay...the only source for new Had stuff, although I bought mine used) for a 2 watt PC SET "45"...I like the added headroom of my massive 10 watts, but can’t recommend these amps enough...hand made, absolutely beautiful sounding little gems. Otherwise the Coincident Audio Dynamo 34SE II seems like a cool little amp. Also, I wonder where the Heresy III "96db" rating info comes from as, although I’ve seen mention of Klipsch spec exaggeration here and there, is there an actual measurement out there somewhere that disproves the 99db spec? I wanna know, but don’t care all that much as my experience with the Heresy III is all good, and they’re far more efficient than anything I’ve owned other than pro audio stuff.
Is this an excellent value?

I happened to come across this listing by chance!
This appears to be an excellent value.
Two mono SET 845 25W amplifiers and Pre amplifier at 2551$.
It also can be wired for 120V power.
But I had never heard of company called "Yaqin "before.
What is your opinion on this combo?
The specs are as follows.
Output Power: 25W + 25W (8Ω)
Distortion: ≤ 2.5% (1kHz)
Frequency response: 10Hz - 40kHz (-2dB)
SNR: ≥ 86dB (A)
Input Sensitivity: ≤ 0.2V
Load Impedance: 4Ω - 8Ω
Tubes: preamp: 12AX7 × 2 12AU7 × 1
power amp : 12AU7 × 2 845 × 1
Power Voltage: AC110V/220V 60Hz/50Hz
Volume: preamp: 275mm x 195mm x 390mm (D x W x H)
power amp: 315mm x 395mm x 435mm (D x W x H)
Gross weight: preamp: 12kg
Powe amp: 28kg x2 (a pair) = 56 kg
