Trolling CL looking for a steal on SDAs and saw a 545 for 50. Should I jump on it? I have an integra DTR 30.3. I was thinking I would put it on zone 2, run it to a speaker switch and drive New Original Advents and/or Monitor 7s. Opinion pro and con would be appreciated.

Also what should I be looking out for when I go to pick it up?

Thanks

    At that price, JUMP on it if it works!! Nice ones go for about three times that, more if it's the Mark II model.

    When you go pick it up, look out for cars at the intersections, pedestrians in the crosswalks, etc. :smile:

    +1 if__ it works fine, $50 is a sweet price. These little amps work great for back surround duty.

    As others have said, $50 is a steal for that so definitely grab it.

    Nice amp and just what you need. I got mine for a little more than three times that price from another Polkie and I thought that was a bargain price!

    Oh well, looks like another missed opportunity. Seller is not replying and post is over a month old. Pretty sure someone beat me to it long ago.
