Rori Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Item: Holton Ex Nihilo Monobloc Power Amps (pair) Location: Melbourne Price: $15K ono - at the time of purchase these were $30K RRP Item Condition: Like new 9/10, purchased from Anthony Holton in Sep 2017 Reason for selling: Want to try the AVM Ovation MA8.2's that have popped up Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal Extra Info: These Sexy AF monobloc's are Anthony Holton's best amplifier design to date. They can output 900W rms into a 2 ohm load, therefore should be able to run the most demanding speakers out there. They almost double down with 275W into 8 and 525W into 4, both rms values. This is achieved with 225,000 micro farads of filtering capacitance and a custom 2.5kVA toroidal tranny, the rest of the specs can be seen in the link below. These Ex Nihilo's are slightly custom with the first 16W of pure class A before transitioning to class AB as opposed to the stock units achieving 10W. The best way for me to describe these beasts is absolutely effortless in their delivery with the best detail retrieval I've heard. The reason for me entertaining the idea of selling these is for a set of AVM Ovation MA8.2 monobloc's that have come up for sale and I've got the urge to try something different. I also have the matching pre to the AVM monobloc's therefore I'm hoping synergy will be key for a better experience. Here's to hoping! Obviously if the AVM monobloc's sell before mine I have the right to withdraw from this sale. I can ship if interstaters are interested at buyers expense. See link for more details and if you want to know more about these amps, Marc had a set for I think 6 months, it might pay to ask him about his experience. Hopefully he has the time to respond. https://www.holtonaudio.com/ https://holtonprecisionaudio.com/collections/fully-assembled-amplifiers/products/ex-nihilo-mono-block-power-amplifiers Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Luc Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Very nice. Saw these at the show a couple of years back(I think it was these and also Fearless Leader had them for awhile as well). Stunning in the flesh and a testament to one mans passion. GLWTS.
andyr Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Super looking amps, Rori! GLWTS. Andy PS: @ghost4man, I suspect these would drive your T-1Ds (passively) effortlessly.

His amplifiers sadly dont get the deserved attention here in Australia that they get elsewhere. @andyr I think you are right. Incidentally my soon to be finished Holton has a 3.0KVa tranny GLWTS. Absolute cracker mono's.

Hey Steve, Yeah every now and then change is good! Got to give it a shot for the right amps that pop up, however if they don't sell I'll still be a happy man with these. Thanks to everyone for your kind words!
