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).

You have an aversion to anything modern by any chance ?

Not particularly. Just trying to upgrade within a certain budget. So, I
decided to keep the concertos, re-cap them, and re-build into a more modern,
tall, cabinet (stumbled across a good german design). For ~150euro don't
think I can do much better with regard speakers.

Then, throwing out my Yamaha CR640 integrated amp. Found the SAE IB for a
great price by accident. Works perfect. Now looking for a power amp for
~150euro. Reckon I can get more bang for the buck with vintage gear, and
would probably match my KEFs better. So I was looking at the SAE Mark gear,
405, and I have my eye on something else which has come up which I won't
mention at this time in case of competition!!

See how it goes..
