I have owned a pair of LA Audio P-3 Golds for many years now. These belong to a friend of mine before I got them. Sonically they're wonderful with the KT88s my friend installed. After a couple years one of the power tubes went down. There's a local guy that installed a new quad set of tubes that sound beautiful still today. I believe them to be Gold Lion KT88s. He thought the build quality was excellent. I try to not use them for much unless I'm going to be listening to jazz or some new music. For home theater I have a couple other SS amps.
My mother in law made a beautiful set of covers for them to keep dust out. If any of you are old enough to remember the covers used on toasters and old appliances...
I figure, very few people have ever heard of them. There was a chinese company who bought the name and made components for a few years after Lars Andersen shut down operations, but they never made stuff that sounded as good as the original LA Audio. They are very well built. I count on these mono blocks working for years to come.
I tried to attach a picture, but didn't work. Happy listening! Contact me if you'd like to see pics!
