Might be able work that out, Steve. Thanks. -
Better hurry Russ, before Kerry gets up and see's this. What I do is wait for Kerry to spend a boatload of money, then jump on the deals I know he can't afford after the fact.

Something this nice, in this great condition, at this price... not surprised that it sold in less than 2 hours. Congrats on the sale Steve! Adding to the herd/hoard Russ? In what part of the country will this amp reside? Central PA has none of your gear yet...

So it's just going to sit and not be used by it's new owner? That's kinda disappointing.

Nope....There's a pair of amp killing Infinities that have finally met their match! Those jokers like to dip impedance when wound up. A couple of Yammies there have let loose the magic smoke and spilled electrons on the floor. -
lol "Magic smoke"

Ha! I would love to visit the east coast. Phoenix born and raised but wife's family is in southern Az. Glad this sold as I am about to get paid and would hate to hide a "family trip" as an excuse to run over a couple towns and pick this up. Just a dude doing dude-ly things
