Product Description
Croft Acoustics Series 7 power amplifier (available on 0% finance when you spend over £1000 - perhaps with a matching pre amplifier and speakers?) is considered by us as "entry-level" but quite honestly there are only a minority of manufacturers in the market who are capable of producing amplifiers that are this good. A hybrid design which uses 1 ECC83 valve for the input and high quality Mosfets for the output. Not a lightweight at 45-50W rms and very stable, capable of driving a wide variety of loudspeakers even those which present challenging loads.
So far the Croft Series 7 has been universally well received by dealers, distributers and customers. If you are looking for a solid performer at a reasonable price point then this is the power amplifier for you.

Well, I've had this amp now for around 8 months now so I thought I'd give it a review.
I hit a major birthday this year so decided to finally pair my Croft Micro 25 with this power amp. It replaced an old Rocksan Kandy amp of the same price and I also upgraded my DAC and speakers.
All I can say is wow, what an upgrade. This is the first fully valve system I've owned and it is amazing. I'm running a Hugo DAC some Audio Physic Classic 8 speakers. Turned up it shakes the house to piece but doesn't distort at all. The level of detail and the stereo placement is unreal.
It did take a while for Glenn to build the amp. I believe he's had massive demand for his amps since the lockdowns. But the guys at Audio Affair kept me informed when I asked for updates. But it was well worth the wait.
All in all a great amp, well worth its money, and it really punches above its weight.
Like the other reviewer says, if I ever have the money my next upgrade would be the R versions of the 25, and the 7R monos. Maybe when I hit my next milestone birthday I'll get them.
Lastly, even my ever cynical girlfriend was impressed with the new amp, even though she usually rolls her eyes at my expensive purchases. -

This combo is fantatsic. I will one day upgrade to the 7R Mono's and the 25R.
This is my 2nd Office hifi and it gives my main stereo costing many times more a real run for its money in all aspects. Less is more.
