Cairn / Ezo K5.5 5 Channel High end Amplifier. 5 channel Power Amplifier outputting 100 Watts per channel. Over decent condition there are a couple of dents & scratches commensurate with its age. Made by Cairn in France these Amps were very well received in their day & built like a tank, each channel has its own transformer so weighs an absolute tonne. Not much info around on these anymore as the company went defunct years ago but their products were reviewed next to the likes of Parasound & Krell & where always praised very highly. This one has been serviced a few years back when one of the relays went at this time a staggered start was added so each channel switches on a few milliseconds after the last to eliminate the effects of Current inrush from the transformers. Overall a great sounding amplifier with plenty of power. sadly I no longer have a multichannel set up so now surplus to requirements. No original packing but will be packed very securely to ensure safe transport, local collection also welcome. For anyone wanting further info here are a few sites with further information. https://www.avforums.com/threads/cairn-ezo-anyone-know-anything.35916/ http://web.archive.org/web/20040205021215/http://www.cairn-ezo.com/index_va.html
