RELOCATION FORCES SALE. EVERYTHING MUST GO! Highly motivated seller.
Muse 175 mono block, stereo pair. 2nd owner. These amps have been in regular use for many a year and have never missed a beat.
Each amp is rated at 175w into 8 ohms and 350w into 4. They have an intimate, relaxed presentation that has a hint of 'tubes' and never display any sign of harshness or distress. They perform wonderfully driving my previous Apogees and now the VMPS RM30 M's.
Functionally amps are 100% with no issues. Factory tune up just prior to my purchase of VMPS RM30 M's in 2006. Condition wise they are in great shape for their age. There are a few light scratches on top and a small nick or two along the top edge on one of the face plates. No dents, dings or anything else. They are very presentable.
Asking $650. Offers will be considered.
Both RCA and balanced inputs supported. A shorting plug is provided for use in the balanced input when using RCA. Binding posts are Cardas copper.
With a relatively high input impedance (51 k-ohms) and a high 30db of gain these amps are very friendly to passive input devices/switched attenuators, which was a big part of my purchase decision. My old CAL Alpha and my present Pioneer DV-58AV with EVS Ultimate Attenuators or the passive outs of my McCormack ALD have no problems driving the amps direct. My present VMPS RM 30 M's really shine with the above combinations, but nothing beats the Ultimate Attenuators for air and intimacy. Nothing.
The Muse 175's are presently in my system and I'd be happy to arrange a demo for a serious buyer.
Local pickup highly desired. I have the original packaging and will ship if needed. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, freight and insurance.
Thanks for looking. If you have any questions please let me know.
