Opera Consonance Reference 6.6Unusual chunky design, (very heavy too) beautiful warm cherry wood top from a company that's pumping out a lot of award winning amps at the moment. Fantastic sonics - better detail than the Odyssey amp I had, with excellent bass as well and natural open midrange. $2500 retail
Incredibly musical amp, without being obviously colored or "tubey." Selling because I'm going to a digital system. (Will potentially trade for a class D amp... Channel Islands perfered) Can potentially meet you to drop off around Pittsburgh, PA.

http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/operaudio_66_e.htmlMy description: Simply the best sounding amp I've ever heard with my Alons or Silverlines. There is some hiss from the 8ohm output and very little from the 4 ohm output (which I use for my 8 ohm speakers w/ excellent results). I (23 years old) can hear it 1.5 feet from a SEAS Millenium tweeter, but not in listening position 5 feet away (and this with nothing playing). Then again it could be my poorly shielded Black Orpheus cables picking up something. Just want to state this in interest of full disclosure.
