I'm thinking of getting one of these power amps. Can find no reviews. Or
else I am looking at the Quad 405. Can anyone tell me what the Mark series
power amps are like? (I will be running it with SAE Mark IB pre-amp and
Kef Concerto speakers).

Thanks.
IME, the old SAE stuff is overrated. It has all the defects of that period.
It is much noisier than modern equipment.

My experience supports your statement. I had a 1980-ish vintage amp and
preamp that were noisy and very prone to failure (especially the amp).
