    Under $200 is a pretty good price if it's very good cond. Nice amp for the money. I'd choose this over just about anything in it's price range, used.

    Go for it

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    There is one on Craigslist near me in Milwaukee for only $100. Not the MKII, but some prefer the sound of the older one.

    A few scratches, but dang, for $100!

    Hi Mole',

    Congratulations! How exciting - Enjoy your new gear! I'm also on the lookout for an amp for music and home theater, but don't live in San Diego anymore - so the opportunities aren't really available locally.

    Best Wishes,

    Pappy
