Anybody Identify this amp?

Despite trying not to buy any more amps, I just had to have this:

I'm pretty sure it is built from an ampmaker kit, SE5-A?

Anybody built one before - sound nice?

Decent price?  As this kit is discontinued by ampmaker the price says £999 but I think that is wrong - would it be closer to £200?

Cheers

Never mind that, this looks more interesting!

I'm trying not to look so I don't try to buy it...it's not working very well...

Definitely looks like an ampmaker kit, and the SE5-A had a TMB tone stack so that looks like it.

I bought (and built) one of the first batch of its successor, the N5X, which was priced at the old price for a short while - £175 (minus the valves). I'm quite impressed with the sound but I haven't really been able to do it justice until my 1x12" is finished.
