Hey guys,
I've been looking at budget amplifiers, I'm currently using a B&K pt3 I got here on the forums for $100, a emo XDA-1 and a Yamaha M-45 I borrowed from my dad. Most of the amps I am finding are way over priced, and even older than the outlaws. These particular amps are in perfect condition, and were likely from the later productions of the m200's. They are at the most are 8 years old though, and originally retailed for $300 a piece. Do you guys think I am massively overpaying for these, I have seen them go for $160 on the forums, but they weren't in this condition, and I believe that price was before shipping. I really wanted to get mono-blocks, and these are by far the most affordable ones I have found, so I was just looking for some input.
New to the forums, and home theatre.
This will become my secondary system in the fall or spring, but it consists of:
Front: Polk Monitor 40's on 36" Bell-O stands
Front B: Klipsch F-10
Center: Polk CS-2
Rear: Polk Monitor 40's
Subwoofer: Klipsch Sub-12
Receiver: Yamaha HTR-6130
Cd Player: Kenwood Dv-605 dvd player to play data disks.
Macbook pro/External Blu Ray as a HTPC for media.

    Great amps at a great price. You will be very pleased with their performance. I had one powering my center before I picked up my Rotel multi channel amp. It did the job in spades.

    Overpriced? How about they cost more because they are better amps to begin with.
