Rogue Audio Stereo 90 Super Magnum

Put simply, if I could shrink this amp I'd keep it. Unfortunately it can't fit onto the shelf I bought for my new home office where the 2 channel rig now lives. I'd love to do a trade for some mono blocks that are no more than 12.5" wide and 15.5" deep. The Wyred 4 Sound mAMPS would be perfect.
This amp had the top of the line "Super Magnum" upgrades performed by Rogue which includes the following:
- Hex Fred diodes in bias supply
- Screen grid resistors upgraded
- Polypropylene bypass capacitors in filters
- Bypass coupling caps
- PRP resitors in all critical spots
- Cardas binding posts
- Cardas RCA jacks (ST90 only)
- Upgraded wiring
- Upgraded small signal tubes
- KT90 output tubes
The amp runs a quad set of the big KT120's and the bass slam is there. I just rolled in some Sylvania Chrome Dome Black Plate 6SN7GTB's ($50) & RCA Black Plates D-Getter 12AX7's ($90) and it's buttery smooth. I am the second owner (purchased here from brgman) and have the original packaging and manual. It's just as important to me as it is to you that the amp arrives safely so I will make sure everything is absolutely bomb proof. It is an extremely heavy and big amp weighing in at 60 pounds. Please make sure it fits your rack or stand.
This amp will ship with the following tubes:
(2) RCA Black Plates D-Getter 12AX7 tubes
(2) Sylvania Chrome Dome Black Plate 6SN7GTB tubes
(2) Baldwin Raythoen 12AX7 Long Plate tubes (budget tubes that actually sound fantastic)
(2) JJ 12AX7 tubes
(2) Stock Chinese 6SN7 tubes
(4) Tung Sol KT120 tubes (these are about $50 each!)
I'd rate it 8/10 cosmetically. The little blue LED "power on" light recently went out. It looks like an easy fix with the cover removed because it is very accessible, but you'd have to confirm with Rogue about that.
I'm asking $1650 plus shipping from 92120. Paypal add 3%. Thanks for looking!

Bump and big price drop. $1,500 + shipping and 3.5% Paypal fee. You won't be disappointed with this one guys. This is the lowest price I've seen for one with the Super Magnum upgrade and not mention the lot of tubes it comes with.

Excellent gear at a good price. I had the stock Stereo 90 and the it sounded great, fast and very good bass. Wish I had the $$$$$ to get this (and keep my Parasound a21)

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
If it's not gone by then, I'd love to break it out! I also have the Wyred SX1000 mono's now which I think you guys would find interesting as well as the DAC-2 with Femto Clock.
