"Here's a summary of what I know about Magnum and a couple of links to reviews of magnum amps.
A.C. Magnum company history?
A. C. Magnum Ltd was founded by Tony Relph who was also one of the co-founders of Rega. Rega is the abbreviation of the names RElph and Gandy. Tony Relph went on to found A. C. Magnum. Tony Relph has since retired and these amplifiers are no longer manufacturer. Magnum used Colin Wonfor circuit designs and there was definitely some collaboration between Colin Wonfor and Tony Relph at the beginning. Maybe the company name was actually stands for Anthony. Colin. Magnum (just guessing here but it would be plausible?).

Sorry No, this is wrong, Magnum was formed from my company MIH, which became Pro-Ac Magnum, then Tony Relph joined me as a business guru, then after 3 yrs managed after locking me out after a holiday stole the company and I was force to take legal action for use of some patents. and stealing my company. Meanwhile I started Inca Tech producing no electronics until the legal action was resolved but the world first Gold Plated Power Connectors for the audio world, now be warned never share a company 50/50 if you have started it you partner may not be so trustworthy as you. :thmbsp:
