Is this an excellent value?

I happened to come across this listing by chance!

This appears to be an excellent value.

Two mono SET 845 25W amplifiers and Pre amplifier at 2551$.

It also can be wired for 120V power.


But I had never heard of company called "Yaqin "before.

What is your opinion on this combo?

Thanks gentlemen for your input.

Line Magnetic is the only Chinese company  I heard about.

How about the reputation of Yaqin?
I have owned Yaqin, it was enjoyable piece of gear and a great value. They sell several tubed and I believe 1 hybrid integrated amps as well as a tube buffer and a phono section.  I only personally know 1 other person that owned Yaqin and I know for sure that he would tell you the same. I would do a search under the forums here. There won’t be a lot, but I have certainly seen it mentioned before. It would be nice to hear from people that have actually sat in front of it. 
Thanks Tim for your input.

I will consider Yaqin next time.

They look good with reasonable price.
I had a Yaqin hybrid integrated.  After the first week, it caught fire and almost burned my house down (NOT kidding).  Thank God I was in the room at the time and I was able to run to the kitchen and grab the fire extinguisher.  My upstairs room smelled for a long time after.  At the time I bought it, it was only being offered on ebay.  I got my money back through PayPal, but never again would I buy cheap Chinese junk.  The amp was so cheaply made.  Under the polished transformer covers was a transformer that you would use in a transistor radio, they were that small.

Like we used to say about certain cars, all show and no go.
