Listed at over $10K. Sell as pair for $1295
These have some operational quirks, so Please read:
The 2.2x has the upgraded Aberdeen power supply. I used it successfully as a room-correction preamp for several years. It has five digital inputs and a DAC card that can be used for either digital out or sub. I sold it a few years ago and Fed-Ex lost it. Actually, it was delivered to the wrong address, and a couple years later I was contacted by the person who received it. He found it unopened in his basement and he sent it back to me. It has all the original cables, mic, remote and the CD disk, but I no longer have a PC computer (it won’t run room correction on Apple). So, I haven’t tested its room correction. I have verified that it works just fine as a preamp, but this is being sold simply as a preamp, as I can’t vouch for the room correction (though it worked fine last time I use it).
The S2150 XDM comes with room correction that can be used with or without a PC computer. I have never hooked it up to a computer. It has all the original cables, mic, remote and the CD disk. I have used it standalone as a 150 watt integrated amp/ DAC and it works fine in bypass mode (no correction), but when using the room correction it worked fine with one of my (fairly efficient) speakers, but with my less efficient Giya speakers there waAs some distortion/ static sounds when pushed to my normal listening level. Therefore, this is being sold only as a digital amp to be used with the Tact preamp. The room correction may or may not work with your speakers, so no guarantees are being made. To repeat, I’ve successfully used them over the last year as a preamp/amp pair in my home theater with both in bypass mode. Room correction may work for you but it may not. Sold as-is.
The cosmetic condition of both pieces is 7/10. The only other issue is that the volume of the XDM is a bit finicky—it sticks a little and you sometimes have to release your finger and press again. The 2.2x volume works fine with both remote and volume wheel. I know I have the original box for one of them. Not sure about the other, but if not it will be packed well in an audio box. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. The 2.2x is reasonably light but the S2150XDM is heavy (~50 pounds).
Contacy me if you have any questions…
