I owned the early version of the 140 with 70 watts a side, it was a great amp, slightly warm/tube sounding but not mushy. I Agee with tooblue, $3-400 already recapped would be fine. It is 20+ years old easily if not 30, and B&K went out of business a long time ago.
B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision
I have heard good things about this old amplifier. I like lush sound and read this amp fits the bill. Is it that good? Is it worth to pay $300 for it?
I have read there are two versions of this amp. I believe the one I put links below is the first/“better” version. Can someone confirm?
I don’t see any serial or tag on the back but it is old, so it is fine. I doubt it is something else inside :)
It is in working condition but probably would need to be recapped soon. So, that’s another cost. I do want to try this type old amps but then I am not that handy when it comes to fixing this type of stuff. Can do some fixing but not enough.
