I have dual Monarchy Audio Original SM-70 amp (retailed for 700 each). Each monoblock delivers 75 watts of pure class A power to your speakers. They are also ZERO FEEDBACK amps. Great for Ref 1.8 and ref 1 speakers, and even the Rockets. Tried on a pair of Rocket RS250, and it bought the sound to a whole other level as compared to my parasound 1000A amp. The amp won many, and i mean many awards from england and the US, and had a great reputation in Hong Kong.
here are the reviews for the SM70:

They are worth around 600 used per pair on audiogon (i am willing to sell them at 550 obo plus shipping)........and since i just recently traded my Ref1 for some XLS to complete my surround duty, i have no use for them at all.
So i am open to trades for whatever you got thats audio/video/game/PC related. No DVD/CD/HDdvd/Bluray players please...unless its a PS3. I'll take offers on speakers (ref100, must be in rosewood), preamps, PS3(Love to have that!), computers, laptops(that will be AWESOME), subwoofers, integrated amps (no clue why i need it), and lastly...a long shot...if anyone can get cheap plane tickets to London(crzy, but who knows, one of your audiophiles porbably work for the airlines)
I can ship the Monarchy amps as i still have the orignal packaging and will be double BOXed.
you can reach me at 443-756-6341 (you can call me up til 1AM in the morning every night), or
kinnithy@yahoo.comTRADE MUST BE DONE WITH A REPUTABLE AUDIOGON/AV123 MEMBER ONLY!
thanks!
