Hey all. This baby has been in our living room for about 5 years and before I got the amp it was in a doctors home theater room and hardly got turned on. Never subjected to smoke of any kind and does its thing nicely. I don't have the manual but they are online if needed. Works great and will come packed perfectly. Pics on request, just PM me. This Amp will not disappoint.
$450.00 shipped

    Dang nice amp! Needs air as all the ACURUS get a bit warm but it’s a SWEET warm!

    Good to know. I swore they all got a bit warm, not unlike my B&K 200.5

    I had an A200x3 at one point. Left it on 24/7 for years. Got a bit warm when pushed, but at idle it was barely noticeable.

    I had an Acurus A250 that ran cool. That was one amp I wish I didn't have to sell to get some spare cash back into my pocket. It had that blinking power switch that 99% have now. I loved the bass control it had.

    Super well made amps for sure!

    GLWTS.

    K but all I can do is generic pics. Not the best pics.

    It is a great unit in great shape. I am a more than fair member here stating that full refund if buyer isn't thrilled/ minus shipping of course. 45 days should be long enough to either love it or not!!!! I'll get better pics..just let me know. This is a great amp.

    Hmmm, another potential amp I may need to buy. And it's $450 shipped. Anyone know the differences between this Acurus and the Pioneer VSX-95thx for sale on the forum? Since this is a true amp and not a receiver, I am guessing this will blow away the Pioneer sound wise. Any opinions? Thanks all.

    This is definitely more tempting than the Pioneer.

    I used to own an 8008bb amp and it seemed pretty harsh on the top end. Is this one similar? Or is it pretty smooth. I have read reviews that it's smooth, but smooth is definitely subjective. Thanks again all.

    Edit: How old is this amp (Year of manufacture)?

    This amp will be showing up tomorrow. I cannot wait to give this a try. I just need some RCA cables to hook the receiver outs to the amp. I think I will hit up Skip for some of the Wireworld RCA cables. :)
