FOUND: Van Alstine amplifier
« on: 23 May 2018, 10:03 pm »
I have a pair of difficult to drive dynamic speakers (nominal 2 ohm in the midbass), looking for a pre-owned Van Alstine amplifier to drive them.  Solid state (double die versions of Insight 240, Insight 260 or 260H; Synergy 240 double die) or hybrid (FetValve EXR or Ultra 350).

Frank's recently announced his new solid state line (SET), happy to help fund your upgrade  :D.

Thanks for asking.  Am hoping to keep the price somewhere around $500, give or take  $100 or two.  The units I highlighted are usually somewhere in that range.  That said, happy to talk about other offers!

We just got in two choices in used AVA amps that might interest you.  They are not on our used equip page at our web site yet.

A recent Synergy 240 amp built in a decent Dyna ST-150 chassis.  Circuits are perfect, old Dyna chassis has seen better days, has dent in faceplate and a few scuffs.  Asking $545 including 30 day satisfaction guarantee and one year parts and labor warranty.

An nice Fet Valve 400R hybrid amplifier.  This was an upgrade to an older version of this amp so it has a captive power cord.  Asking $1245 including 30 day satisfaction guarantee and one year parts and labor warranty.

I have bench tested and run both in my system and they perform just fine.

Call me at 651-330-9871 if you are interested.

Thanks all, I made arrangements with Frank to purchase the used 400r he referenced, very excited to give it a try!
