VAL MP-211A amp info?

Brought home a pr. of these amps to try with the Harbeths to see how 25wpc 845 would do with

them. They use 1 pr. of 6sn7 and a single 211/845 power tube each. (monoblocks) they are Chinese made. Anyone have any info on them?

I have always been a big fan of 845 based amps, and after Axpona i have had the itch to try one. If these work out I might try something a little nicer and more powerful like the Cary 211 or Cayin 9088 in my system.

Tom are these 211s or 845s everything I see indicates 211 tubes?

Transformers need to be good in these amps to get great sound, I really like the 845 Dared I have but in the end preferred the McCormack DNA.5

Enjoy them prior to summer as they are space heaters

They are supposed to be able to use either 211/845 tubes. I'll check out the dared too, thanks.

I'm not hoping for to much from the VAL because the iron is chinese.

I fell in love with the Thoress 845 amps in FL. Th

These are the same power, so if they work OK I know that the Thoress will be an option, if not will have to look elsewhere.
