in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Second owner, purchased from original owner here about 6 months ago. Plays beautifully. Cosmetically good, a few minor blemishes shown in photos. This is a Polk contributing member price at my discretion, so, if you're going to contact me and ask me to call Parasound and track down the serial number and give you an exhaustive history on this unit don't waste your time. If you 're a contributing member you know how to track the history of this amp.

I've never pushed this amp very hard because it has way more power than any speaker I have can handle. Thought I would keep it to run with the SDA's I'm going to finish...one day...but, I'm consolidating funds for something further up the food chain. For the most part it has just sat since I got it. I've probably put 30-40 hours on it max.

I have original double box packaging and stock power cord.

$1380

Buyer pays PP fees (or can PP gift) and actual shipping and insurance (if requested) from 40056 zip code.

    Heck of a deal.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Ummm, I have a bit of a problem. I went through a period where if I was curious about an amp I bought it so I could hear it in my system. Perils of not having a dealer nearby. I've learned a lot in the process.

    That pretty much sums up my problem.

    I'm not complaining, mind you, I've had worse problems. :D

    Will entertain reasonable offers, however, reasonable is the operative word here. Insulting offers like the one I received a couple of days ago from US Audio Mart will be met with cursing and other stuff directions on what you can do to yourself.

    I'm guessing 2 wooden nickels, a patched blow up doll named Shirley, half a bottle of cheap whiskey and a Pink Floyd 8 track isn't going to cut it then.... ;)

    Man, I quit drinking so the whiskey is a deal breaker. I am interested in Shirley so maybe we can work something out.

    How about if I swap out the whiskey for a strawberry Yoo-hoo pink drink that will tickle your tastebuds with it's light, funky flavor???

    IMO, don't lower your price. There's nothing wrong with your price--you just need the right buyer to come along. I would have grabbed it weeks ago if I didn't have so many other projects going right now.

    If I part with the McCormack DNA 125 the original owner, Halo, has first dibs.

    I've decided that I prefer the tube sound to SS and am building that way. Consolidating in anticipation of The Beast.

    Congrats on the sale. I figured it would go quick, no one like to compete with Shirley.
