Mitchell & Johnson power amp schematic?

[Sarchi]

I have an M&J S815 power amp, working fine, but since they're out of business with no contact info, can anyone help me locate a schematic? I've talked to the local importer and they had no info.

Nice looking amp. Love the meters.

BTW, there's a dealer in Guelph Ont. blowing one of these amps out for 50% off. Maybe they will give you a schematic. https://stereo-untypical.com/products/mitchell-johnson-s815-power-amplifier

Jeff - I'm the dealer who has it listed.
Not really sure if I'll sell it, it's a workhorse, but either way a schematic would be useful to have.

Shame the company just evaporated. That's a beast of an amp, and looks well designed for sure. Designed and built in the UK? Someone knows something.

Maybe it's worth a try.

Ugh, the dreaded Elon sewer.
Thanks

Sorry, but have only just seen this. If you are still selling it the following might be helpful.

From what I can tell the new Leema Acoustics Gravitron power amplifier is an updated version of the S815. I could be worth contacting Leema Acosutics (in Wales) to see what they say. Both Mitchell and Johnson and Leema shared the same distributor and, unlike most M & J products, the S815, along with the matching pre-amp and CD player were made in the UK - I’m assuming by Leema themselves.

Hope this helps?

nice info, thanks Alex. I will contact Leema.

No problem. Davlec Ltd are the company that manufactures products for Leema - they are linked on Leema’s website. I assume they also made the M & J 800 series.

What do you think of the S815? They do come up for sale occasionally here in the UK.

I think it's a great sounding amp, especially with a good tube preamp (I'm a tube guy).

Many thanks. It certainly looks promising from a design/engineering point of view.
