Seller is the original owner, lightly used, mint condition for $800. Production was in the 80's.

Should I pull the trigger?

This is one from Audiogon for those who might not know much about this model:

http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl_sold.pl?ampstran&1271206155

The source would be a MacMini with RTA-15TL or KEF 104/2 speakers. Listening room is 14' x 16'. Music is folk, pop and techno but mostly used for TV and Movies.

Any thoughts from owners or detractions highly appreciated!

Best,
Scott

    Ok, I'm a dork... Meant to write I'm buying an ML locally same one in same condition as on Audiogon, but just not that specific one, meant to use it for reference.

    Just got an email this morning and meeting with the seller at Noon today. I'll let you all know what happens and thanks for the kind advice!

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Thanks! Finally found the Camac connectors and man I do like the sound quite a bit. I think I'm done shopping for amps now! :)
