Driver det mesta med sina KT90-rör och levererar hela 2 × 70 watt, vilket gör det till ett mycket kraftfullt och kompetent slutsteg. Det har av flera HiFi-tidningar rankats som ett av världens bästa slutsteg. Konstruktionen är dessutom signerad den legendariske rörkonstruktören Tim de Paravicini, vilket säger en hel del om dess tekniska nivå och musikaliska kvaliteter. Slutsteget är i mycket fint skick, utan repor eller andra skavanker. Originalkartong finns kvar.
With condition unknown, kr 42,000 lands in the fair-to-strong range for an EAR 890, not a giveaway but still reasonable if it’s healthy and properly serviced. New examples have sat around the mid-kr 50,000s equivalent, while recent used asks I found cluster much lower when service history is clear, so this sits above bargain territory but not absurd for a desirable one.
What keeps it attractive is the 890’s reputation for real tube grip: 70W per channel, plenty of current, and that effortless, spacious EAR presentation that works beautifully with speakers that like control as much as tone. The upside is best when it’s a clean, maintained unit with service records, matched tubes, and the original packaging or documentation. At this level, I’d want confirmation of recent cap/tube health and stable operation, since transportable tube power is only as good as its upkeep.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
