Can someone share some experience about these classic? Their sound characters?

The sound can vary from tubey/euphonic, to very clean and extended, depending on the owner's choice of tubes, caps, resistors and wiring. Left stock; you'll have the first presentation.

The Mk III's can sound pretty good particularly after updating. But, $3000?! I don't think so. Way too much, in my opinion.

They realized that between the Output and Power transformers they had most of the parts value of an amp. So, they put out the amp kits. I think the 60 watt monoblock was over $120 when the rule of thumb was a dollar a watt.
