Hi guys.
Bought this a couple months ago to drive my front height speakers (RT35's). I've replaced it with another Sherbourn amp that has xlr inputs (a TST-4). Works great, I bought it as new for $125. It has a small scratch on top, that was there when I opened the box. Didn't affect use or performance so I didn't gripe. A black Sharpie would fix it, but full disclosure. This amp is half-width by 1U and can be bridged to 150wpc @ 8 ohms. I had looked for another unit to pair with this one to operate in dual-mono bridged mode in a side-by-side configuration. (Don't know why....I've never come close to peaking my Sherbourn 7 x 200wpc amp. Just seemed like the thing to do.)
This thing has lots of guts. Can drive two pairs of 8 ohm speakers. Lots of pro-installer features, like 12v trigger, music sense trigger, line and RCA inputs, RCA outputs to daisy-chain additional amps, output level control, and and Sherbourn's LDS (Load Detection System) that senses speaker shorts or impedance that is too low. It has a microprocessor that performs this function.
This thing is a lot heavier than it looks. Has a huge toroidal transformer in it. (Look at the pix to see the size of this thing!) I do have the manual.
You may also know that Sherbourn is owned by the parent company of Emotiva. They have re-focused their marketing to go direct-to-consumer via the net, so expect to see more Sherbourn gear around soon.
I paid $125 shipped to my door. It's yours for that shipped in CONUS. If you live near ATL, we can do a local pick up with a discount for shipping cost.
PM me with your email if you need more pix. My eBay ID is 'rtinatl', with lots of 100% positive feedback over twelve plus years. I've also bought and sold a lot of gear here and on the Emo forum under the same user ID, 'rtart'.
Please contact me via PM.
