This beautiful amplifier came home today. Its designed a bit too radio but the sound...wow..I read enough about it before making the purchase but it was still a punt. Lots of positive reviews on the internet and I think it lives up to the reputation. It is output transformerless operation with philips 800 ohms speakers but thankfully has an output transformer for 8/16 ohms speakers. I have only used it with my Altec speakers.
The sound has mid range body and a pronounced top end sizzle and good bass. The 12 watts push-pull I think are making the difference as opposed to the 4 watts SET amplifier that i am use to.
This little gem is truly a wonderful vintage that was produced from 1959 to 1965.
Theres a whole blogsite devoted to modifications for this philips ag9015 but even in its stock form, it is wonderful sounding to me.
The more seasoned members have already posted on the forum about this amp before me. If you see one in the wild, please get it, it is a very exciting amplifier. Thanks for reading.
