I've been putting this off for a while, but with college for the oldest boy coming quick and a recent spate of car repairs...it's time.
(I'm copying this description from an ad on Audio Asylum, btw)

I've always used this as a 2 channel amp. It's driven Magnepans, B&W's, Cornwalls, Time Windows and many other speakers and has sounded fantastic with them all. I fell in love with a McIntosh that displaced this but otherwise it would be staying with me.
There seems to be no sound signature from the amp itself. It just provides gobs of power and current and lets the rest of the system "do the talking".
Cosmetically I'd give 'er an 8.5. Functionally perfect. Pics to come later today.
Asking $650 with a nice handbuilt power cord (based on a Chris Venhaus design). Local pick only in SW VA for now. (I'm in Roanoke but will drive up to an hour or so as needed to meet a buyer. I also go to Richmond relatively regularly.)
If I have no luck I *may* consider shipping at later date. This thing weighs a good bit and I just can't take the though of it getting damaged in shipping.
