Sophia Electric

Looking at the Sophia Eklectic KT88 mono blocks. Does anyone have experience with these or the company?

I have a Sophia Electric MC 300A Integrated Amplifier which I use on AG Trios. Both the amplifier and the Company are top notch. I agree with mt1045 that the personal service one gets from this company makes buying anything from them a pleasure. I heard many different amplifiers for these speakers before getting the Sophias. Their electronics are very reasonably priced and outperform products costing much much more.

Thanks, I'm looking at the new KT88 mono blocks. Tried a SET amp but clipped too easily. Hoping this is a better fit.

I bought a pair of Royal Princess 300b whose specs were stressing my 300b SET. (The measured mA was on the high end of the curve, and my Ancient Audio had a protective circuit that tripped after about 2 hours of use.) Because I live in DC, I visited Sophia Electric. They combed their inventory to find a pair of tubes that worked perfectly in my amp and did not charge me for the replacements.

I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing any of their amps - just their tubes, with which I am very pleased. But if I was in the market for an amp, based my dealings with Richard and Sue, I would have no reservations.

I have the 300b mono's. Love them. I have them at Sue and Richards right now for upgrades. I bought there OPT Signature Edition he's installing for me. I bought Dueland CIO coupling caps he's installing also. Plus changing some of the resistors and other capacitors. Looking forward to getting them back.

I have the Royal Princess also that makes a world of difference in these amps. I have 105 db efficient speakers though.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of there equipment. There a great company to deal with and dedicated to there customers.
