Folks,
In my limited exposure to all things finer, a set of these has come up for sale near me.
I have no knowledge of these things and am looking for the scoop on them.
Warts and all please. If anyone is feeling in the position to throw out what a fair price is, let me know as well. Photo is not the represented ones.

    You should PM Mike Reeter. I see in the photo thread that he has those amps (or similar).

    Yep. Check with Mike Reeter. He has a pair of M-180's. I had a pair of M-120's that were upgraded to M-180's by Rogue. As Skip said Ok sound and lots of heat. I could push the M-180's rather hard and they could not keep up. After trying to keep my room cool and find the bass control I was looking for I decided to sell them and move back to SS amps.

    Thanks everyone.
    He has them in a package with some speaks and a pre.
    I am currently using a Sunfire 5X200 and was looking for something in the tube arena as I have limited to no experience with them (tubes).
    I do own one of those cheap little ipod docks that came out years ago so that experience is extremely limited.
    Things like these come up very infrequently in the area. Shipping costs and the such keep most people from getting involved with them so my interest was peaked.
    In looking at them (the M120) it would appear that the older ones have a more involved 'adjustment' setup versus the newer design. I will have to look into that as well.
    Heat generation in this climate would be appreciated!!
    He claims to have tubes to go with the sale.
    Of course, with all this I would actually have to put the Dreadnaught into the system.
    Again, thanks for the input.
    I attached a link, note the drive description. Yes we live in the boonies.
