Alright, since no interest shown in the VK600SE, I'll throw this out for sale.
Great shape, VK500/BATPAK for sale. I have had this amp sent to BAT for repair a few times. It now has a clean bill of health. I have been running it for 4 weeks now, with zero troubles, and performs flawlessly! I was going to sell the VK600SE, but after not much interest, I have decided to try selling the VK500. This is a Man's Amp, and has very few peers, IMHO! I hate to get rid of it, but I just have to thin the heard somewhere! It has no major scuffs, and Looks pretty damn good for its age. I'm confident all the trouble I've had with it is corrected, as it was blowing the left ch fuse on a regular basis. Vlad replaced 2 resistors, and both fuse holder's, and it works perfect ever since. I have many hours on it since I received it back. This amp is warm, smooth, explosive, detailed, and romantic, all wrapped up in a 125 lb package!
This thing is heavy, so I may be willing to drive a few hrs to meet. Looking for $2000, cash, ck, Visa/MC, or paypal.

Damn! Wish I could've gotten this one! My next upgrade will be to a VK-500 I think. Congratultations to heartystatue and to bobsauto49.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Thanks everyone. Gonna need help with the dreadnought. It is either gonna have to be invisable. Or in a really nice cabinet. It's the WAF thing.

Get a message to Toolfan, I think Larry still has some cases that he made up for these. The transformer can be found at Avel-Lindbergh Avel Part No: Y236856, 5.4" diameter, 2.6" high, 10.8 pounds weight. I used speakon connectors for mine, but you can also use binding posts for this also. http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?74472-The-AI-1-Dreadnought-Project-Pt.1&highlight=sda+cable, this is a link for building the Dreadnought, good luck!Home Theater
