Vincent 236MK hybrid integrated amplifer

Having just setup my new all tube system, I have no need for this Vincent amplifier, so it's up for sale. This amp has a tube front end with solid state outputs. It is class A for the first 10 watts and then on up to 150 watts per channel. It has treble and bass controls, input selector and motorized volume control. $1100 shipped within the US.

    Please note while it does have speaker outs for two sets of speakers, there is no A/B switch. Both set of speakers will play at the same time. I think it was built to be able to run separate speaker cables to tweeters and woofers. Think of shotgun cables but using two cables from the amp.

    It comes with all the accessories, manual, cotton gloves, billet aluminum remote control and a T-handle allen wrench that fits the cabinet screws. I will pack the original shipping box in an outer box for added protection.

    Yes, I think you will be very happy. This amp is an incredible bang for your buck. I would have kept it but with no need for it, it was time to put some coin back into the toy fund.

    How reasonable of you. You OK Luther? :o

    Life is good Skip. Doing some spring cleaning. Worked out what gear goes into what system. The rest is on the short list to make room for something new. I don't know what that is yet, but when something comes up, I'll be ready.

    Thanks, it is seriously out of date. I built it over a decade ago. Just added a few projects, as they came along.
