Brimar thermionic products are proud to announce the arrival of the Buchanan ..

The Brimar Buchanan 'A' Class HiFi Valve Amplifier

The Brimar Buchanan ‘A’ Class HiFi Valve Amplifier

 

The Buchanan is a brand new thoroughbred ‘A’ class valve amplifier which encapsulates some of the finest audio designs into an elegant plated chassis that can adorn any listening space. Featuring Brimar thermionic products British made ECC804 Electron tubes and of course 2x300b Brimar power triodes that deliver over 8 watts of valve power per channel.

Suitable for classical, pop, jazz and rock music, this amplifier brings home the ‘A’ class directly heated triode experience at a very modest price. While the straight through sound is impeccable, we know some older recordings do not do justice to the quality of your Hi-Fi and so we have integrated our Warwickshire equaliser into the Buchanan amplifier.

The Brimar Warwickshire equaliser utilises the screened triode ECC804 to provide lift and cut with virtually no noise allowing you to fine tune your older recordings to get the maximum listening pleasure from them and to further enhance your modern discs.

Due for full release in summer of 2016, the Buchanan is modestly priced at£1399 and can be ordered in advance through our web-store from April onwards.
