$325 shipped to CONUS. Also two Bluejeans IC Cables (3 ft) and a Bluejeans Belken coaxial cable (3 ft).

The unit is in excellent condition with no cosmetic or functional issues. This is a Polkster offer only for a few days.

This is my 2nd Ref 20 having lost my first one to lightening. I have used it in home theater and for 2 channel...I loved it in both. For 2 channel, some might find it little too much upfront. I think it is punchy and works great with most of my music. It brings out the detail and nuances of the music...the decay of notes is very slow.

For HT, it is really excellent. One review complained that in a scene where metal was scraping against metal, the sound was harsh and screechy....well, yeah.` I call it accurate. Channel separation is amazing. More than anything I have used, I have heard the helicoptors fly over my head, cars race across the room, gun blasts go through me....seriously....I almost fainted.

    Call me stupid. I missed my low ball bid on a 5 channel amp and am continuing to list this. Seeking redemption, reduce price to $300 shipped to CONUS with the specified cables.

    I did notice when working with this that when I was listening to a CD and switched to tuner, the cd kept being heard until I turned off the player....I have never used the tuner and cannot vouch for it....this part of the piece is sold as is....(e.g., I don't know how good it is at bringing in stations as I am in a dead zone).

    thanks

    $275 shipped and I cover any fees (PP).

    At that rate, it is worth buying for a doorstop and certainly for a 2 channel system.

    Please don't low ball below this number. If it doesn't go, well it's Stubby's (he wants to exchange his 2.1TL's--he says they are great).

    Morning all: this is my last run at a fire sale place (even though this comes from a smoke free house).

    $250 shipped CONUS with cables. Cables are essentially brand new, used for about 20 minutes.

    $235 shipped CONUS without cables.

    I'll throw it up on Agon tonight. Higher income brackets I think! (insert smiley face)

    In either event, I will cover Paypal fees, if any.

    Last shot before it goes to my kid's dorm room. Lots of sniffs, no bites.

    Cable offer off the table. Thanks.
