This is an excellent sounding amp and punches way above its weightclass is so many areas. It is high-current (75amps P-P) and is common ground for SDA's. It has a naturally extended top end that is never edgy (even at high volumes), midrange is smooth with very good tone and bottom end is deep, tight and solid. Soundstage and imaging is also excellent. With all the research I've done and other amps I've tried, IMO you would have to spend a minimum of $1500 on the used market to make a worthwhile improvement on the sonics of this amp. There are a few others that would equal it within a similar price range, but I couldn't find any to beat it in it's price range. The condition of this amp is fabulous. I cannot find a thing wrong with it on any side cosmetically, and it runs like brand new. Double-boxed with orginal box inside and powercord......$625 shipped CONUS, Paypal included.

    GLWTS. This is a great amp. I own the older brother, Reference 2220. It is an amazing 2 channel amp and for the condition the price is right. Someone should really jump on this amp. Very warm sounding amp and performs well above its price range. What are you replacing it with??

    I'm loving my Sonos system!!! Why can't you keep the amp for your mains or are you really going in a different direction. But if it must go...it's one great amp at an even better price. Someone please jump on this deal.

    You're going to love the Sonos!!!!

    Wow... that's a pretty fantastic deal considering shipping's included. Built like a tank, gobs of power, and just dead black silent noise floor. If I didn't have one I'd buy it for sure. GLWTS!

    I am curious what you meant by he is a very lucky person? :biggrin:

    $600 dollars at stake here, not sure..........
    I don't like throwing that kind of $$$.$$ around with no response I assure you.
    I would like to have it, but I like cake also and don't see much of that either!:tongue:
    I got 1 response from him, and that was at 10:02pm.
    I can't even pay for the damn thing!:mad:
