Buffered, balanced gainclone kits.

[jamikl]

I have not been into this forum before, just the speaker forums. I know nothing about the theory or design of amplifiers. Many years ago I built the Lynsly Hood 75 W amp from an English powertran kit and also some radio control gear so I guess I can follow instructions and solder reasonably well.

I am looking for and amp of between 60 - 100 watts per channel and probably will want four channels. I would like to have balanced inputs because thats what my Ashley crossover prefers. I have read a bit about balanced gainclones and this seems to be the way to go, especially the buffered versions. The amount of information is actually mind boggling but I don't seem to be able to find ready to go kits.

Can anyone help with good kits, especially any that may be available in Australia. I am not interested in esoteric many hundreds of dollars per channel kits. thanks for any help, jamikl

Not balanced or buffered, but the latter could be added easily on veroboard. Local too.

Otherwise I think you'll be out of luck for what you're specifying, esp if it needs to be in Oz.
