Ich verkaufe meinen Willsenton R8 Röhrenvollverstärker in neuwertigem Zustand.
Verkaufsgrund: Upgrade auf einen Verstärker aus höherer Klasse
Der Willsenton R8 ist ein hochwertiger, handverdrahteter Röhrenverstärker mit exzellenter Verarbeitung, sehr musikalischer Abstimmung und beeindruckender Räumlichkeit. Er bietet die Möglichkeit zwischen Triode- und Ultralinear-Betrieb umzuschalten und erlaubt durch Tube Rolling eine enorme klangliche Flexibilität.
Der Verstärker ist bekannt für seinen warmen, natürlichen Klang, starke Mitten, holografische Bühne und hervorragende Dynamik. Viele vergleichen ihn klanglich mit deutlich teureren Röhrenverstärkern.
Sehr gute Reviews:

I am selling my Willsenton R8 tube integrated amplifier in like-new condition. Reason for sale: I upgraded to a higher-tier amplifier. The Willsenton is in perfect working condition and has been an excellent performer in my system.
The Willsenton R8 is a high-quality hand-wired tube amplifier known for excellent build quality, musical presentation, deep soundstage and impressive dynamics. It offers switchable Triode and Ultra-linear operation and allows extensive tube rolling, making it highly flexible in sound tuning.
The amplifier is well known for its warm, natural sound, rich midrange, holographic imaging and strong musicality. Many listeners compare its performance with much more expensive tube amplifiers.
Great review:

The Willsenton R8 is a well-known, serious tube integrated, but at €1,300 this asking price is above the usual used market here: it clears the €1,243 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly off, but you’re paying a premium versus the typical cluster around €1,009.
What makes it worth considering is the R8’s strong reputation for big, muscular tube sound, good drive, and sensible versatility for a full-size amp. If it’s complete and genuinely clean, the appeal is real. At this price, though, I’d want confirmation of tube hours, any mods, and whether the original box, manual, and remote are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
