Has anyone in the UK heard of Lecson Preamps & Amplifiers? I have two
preamps and a 100watt/ch cylindrical Amplifier. Is there any market for
them
in the UK? They were shown briefly in the movie "Clockwork Orange".



Wasn't this designed by Dave Aspinal about 1980 or thereabouts, or was
he involved in the Lentek outfit?. Another bunch located near the hub of
British Audio, around Huntingdon.

Designed by Boothroyd Stewart, before they went on to start Meridian. I had
an AC1/AP3 combination and it sounded great until it self destructed in a
rather large cloud of smoke. I was advised at that point that the
transistors were custom jobs and no longer obtainable, but that might have
been total ********.
