B&K ST125.2 Amplifier

Hey Polkies,

Great sounding amp here. I bought this off of Ebay a few months ago and have been very impressed with the musicality of it. Only selling because I am buying Danny's Ref 200.2, a little extra power never hurt anybody. These are generally underrated and are known to put out about 140 WPC at 8ohm.

The amp is in decent cosmetic shape, with a few scuffs and scratches on the face plate. I did my best to document the cosmetics in the pictures but the lighting is not great in my listening room. I'll take better pictures tomorrow when I pull it out of the rack.

Asking 300+ship or 300 local pickup in the Annapolis/Baltimore/DC area. I paid about 400 for this so I think the price is fair. I don't have the original packaging but do have the box that it was shipped to me in, which is more than adequate.

    Odd question but what are the dimensions of height and length? Gotta see if it will fit in my entertainment center.

    I just noticed Cody was asking about this. I don’t want to step on toes, so if he had dibs in any way, let me know and I’ll step back.




    Hopefully he doesn’t though!

    No he hasn’t contacted me so you are in the clear

    Nooooo, You in no way coerced me to jump. I'm starting to think Zach is giving you kickbacks...

    Yeah, Russ, I figure since you're probably not going to store your Parasound in the Central PA warehouse, I needed this!

    I was in the process of considering it and spending my money before I even got it in my account but even if I did jump on it my wife would have killed me so you probably saved me.
