I am downsizing my audio system and so my Acoustic Reality eAR Two stereo amp is for sale. This (powerful, efficient, musical, detailed) powerhouse has served me well and has been the anchor in a system that has seen several sources, pre-amps and a change of speakers.
The sound of this 300 watt per channel amp (600 watts in 4 ohms) is very clean, clear, detailed, balanced and fast, with good control of bass and highs as well as a natural midrange. It has allowed me to focus on the music and the quality of the rest of my playback chain.
Here are some key stats that underline the high power, efficiency and low noise of this amp:

Thank you.
