Have AKAI 4000D reel to reel. CELESTION DITTON 44 speakers. looking for best(suitable) AMP.

One that has an input that suits the signal from the Akai and has outputs that suit the Celestions.

Hi Andrew T
Thanks for your reply
The last amp I had was a LEAK DELTA 70.That bit the dust some time ago.

I have tried other amps but they do not have the same connections or get the best from the reel to reel or speakers.

Are you looking for a DIY amp or for a recommendation on a commercial amp?

If you like the Leak and can't find one, you can build one http://www.44bx.com/leak/Leak/Circuits/cctStereo70.gif.

You should be aware that your preference for this amp is probably a matter of adaptation and after a while you might come to like the sound of a more modern amp. Although those speakers of yours will probably favour an amp from the 1970s. If you look for a suitable chip amp, some of the older STK models that are still produced and sold (no original Sanyos however) will probably come close.

I am looking for a commercial amp. I found a Sanyo JA7110 but it does not work well with my speakers. There are a few Leak 70's around but I am no longer able to make repairs or modifications,so would need a guaranteed working unit.If I can find one at a reasonable price.With shipping to France.

Well this is a DIY forum. Maybe you can find answers on audiocircle.com or audiokarma.org.

I obviously made an error in judgement of who to contact. Thanks for letting me know. I will look elsewhere.
