These are the now discontinued VMB1s: 40w of chip amp magic, with a big beefy power supply.
I've loved these for years, and wish I could keep them, but it's hard to justify having an extra pair of amps lying around when times are tight. So, I'm now all SET, and the solid state amps, no matter how nice, will have to go.
Here are a couple of pictures:

Cosmetically, the amps are in excellent condition. I'd use an Audiogon 8 rating, due mainly to the fact that they're now about 7 years old. They still sound wonderful, though. One of the things that astonished me was how dynamic they sound at very low volumes.
The amps are very sensitive. They reach full output with an input of much less than 1v, so they work well with passive preamps. I used mine with a very low gain octal-tubed preamp, and the music was always lively, engaging and energetic.
I have the excellent original packaging from Channel Islands.
I'm asking
$400 for these amps, plus shipping (from ZIP code 48103) and Paypal fees.
