any old amps lying around?

My sons KEF LS 50W has developed an intermittent buzzing in one speaker. He uses them for music production and listening.
For the first time in many years I don't have something lying around to do him until we sort the issue
I have JPW mini monitors and a chord Hugo TT which will give him computer audio if I had an amp.
If anyone has something I could borrow I'd really appreciate it, he's lost without his music.

Ironically when you were clearing out a few years ago you gave me a Denon amp... if memory serves I passed it on to the son of another member here. Good luck with your quest!

Ah yes, my trusty old Denon PMA-450.
Meanwhile a Technics is in Waterford and a NAD in Galway.
It is great however that all these amps are still in use, I just wish I’d kept one of them!

Are you any good at fixing stuff? I discovered my old AVI under some stuff recently and I was thinking that I should ask here if anyone wants to have a look at getting it working again. Well, it actually does (did) work, but the push-button volume is stuck on full...

Thanks but ability to tinker with, never mind fix amps is way beyond my skill set.

Oops My son has that Denon amp now John and he to is into music production :) We managed to resist the demands for a 'silent' drum kit!

Many thanks. I must check the JPW speakers first as they’ve been in the attic a good while. Once they are working I’ll PM you.
Cheers, John.

Many thanks, nice to have a chat with another lunatic who brings speakers back from the UK in the back of his car!
