Description

Description Freakuence!
Wow! Powerful and letting everything shine through with a touch of warmth. This amplifier knows exactly how to fill a room with tangible sound. It’s as if these sounds are gently breathed rather than forced—they take on a life of their own. Comes standard with their unique 300B tube, which we carry here in our shop as a dealer. And you can bet our customers love this top-notch tube—we’ve already made many of them happy… truly happy. 🙂
Retail price: 10,490.00

We are happy to trade on it. Please especially forward what you may have available, we will be happy to assess whether we can put it in the shop.

The tubes are measured and in perfect condition.

General description
This integrated amplifier operates in Class A and is designed specifically for use with the Western Electric 300B tube. Using a patented system, it delivers more than 20 watts per channel, well above traditional values for this type of amplifier. It features four RCA line inputs, a switchable phono input (MC/MM) and Bluetooth support.

A central TFT display shows clear information, and volume control is via a large, precise encoder. Speaker outputs use interchangeable transformer blocks, set at 8 ohms by default, with optional 4 or 16 ohm configurations.

The parallel-feed circuit reduces hysteresis and contributes to a pure sound. The amplifier features an automatic bias control, which allows the connected 300B tubes to function optimally. This contributes not only to performance but also to tube life.

Specifications for the Western Electric WE 91E

Background information
The Western Electric WE 91E is a single-ended tube amplifier based on the classic 1936 91A circuit, designed around the 300B power tube. Jim Kreuz, chief engineer, led the development. The amplifier uses premium components such as Vishay resistors and Mundorf capacitors, with internal wiring of silver-plated copper. The cabinet is CNC-machined aluminum with solid wood sides. Manufacturing and assembly take place in the US.
Brand history

The 300B sound! Hate it or love it. The center sound of the 300B tube is irresistible to many. The glow and fullness in voices is experienced as magical. Instruments really hang loose. Detractors find it too colored. The low of the 300B is full, but not as tight as other tubes – then again, this depends considerably on which amp they are in.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
