    I would not buy for that price. I got a Sunfire Cinema Grand used on Ebay 5x200 for $640. For that price I would want a Signature series.

    My issue is that I don't think the warranty is transferable so if something happens you will be paying for any repairs. Not that anything should happen but that is just my take one it.

    Thuff:
    You are a lucky shopper. Expecting to buy one for 640 now is way unrealistic. for me anyway
    I shopped for months and couldn't find a 5x200 that cheap and ended up spending almost 3 times that for new old stock on something else. Yes, I overpaid. (ouch!) Impulse buy..

    What I think you should do is buy another 5x200 and sell me one of your 300x2s.. :biggrin:(do you reallyneed 2? No wonder they aren't around):biggrin:
    So, like, seriously, what brand of amp do you prefer??:smile:

    These are the lastest models from Sunfire so the cost is going to be higher gents. 1700 is a tad high, I paid 1300 for the 5200 new some yrs back. If he will go down a tad your in the ballpark area of what these go for. I'd go for it if the price were just a tad bit lower.
