If you go to an audio show you will likely see them In Devore's room as he uses them to demonstrate his speakersLine Magnetic for something like 20+ years was restoring Western Electric amps and speakers. Then starting making replicas from the original schematics using the exact materials. Then brought back the 310A WE tube and build their own gear along with making replicas bringing back the speakers which are of course are old fashioned 755 with a new bent (field coil). The amps are the best I've heard out of China - but really it's Western Electric - if you're going to copy that's probably the company to copy - and at least they don't try to lie about it - they keep the same names as the original WE products.
The 219 is a big ole 120lb beast that movers were not thrilled about moving - but better them than me!
It had no trouble with ATC and that speaker is far harder to drive than these KEFs - I think people will get scared off the KEF for being 85dB and that would be a shame. The LS-3/5a was only 82dB and it was very SET friendly (albeit 11 and 16 ohm versions). If the amp has a good power supply 3.2 ohms isn't difficult so long as the amp has a 4 ohm tap.
Devore 88s are not exactly easy to drive either and it doesn't stop Devore.
