Discount for local pickup--but I have the original box. Heavy amp. High quality through and through. Has only been used on weekends--like for one movie per week. I do not have a TV in my man-cave, so I decided to go back to stereo-only tube listening, exclusively, and go out to the big silver screen more.
I'd be open-minded to trade for a Wyred4Sound power amp or another regarded stereo D Amp, and we could work out any delta, but I prefer a sale, but am flexible.
Asking $399. I think original retail was $1500 when it came out in around 2002, when I bought it. Runs cool--typically--and mine has never been overloaded because my speakers are efficient.
Marantz Quality amplifier. Individual pots for each channel so you can level match if you desire biamping. Universally highly rated. Specsheet is here:
http://us.marantz.com/DocumentMaster/US/c_mm9000.pdfI am original owner and it is in excellent condition. Honestly, I have not used it much in past ~4 years because I've become addicted to SET and high efficiency speakers. Comes in original box with manual and a generic power cord.
CONAUSA sales only. Shipping on Buyer from 19380. Paypal, add 3% or send F&F to this very high-rated audiophile with extensive all + feedback on Agon and Ebay and everywhere else in between.
I will post pictures if anyone has interest--or will post soon in any case.
See this ad on Ebay. There are no sonic issues with my unit. I'll price match to final sale price. Open to offers. Discount for local pickup at 19380 or a meeting place in or near Philly.
