Have an opportunity to buy 2 of these beasts locally. Cosmetics are good based on the photos. A few heat sink find on one of the amps are slightly bent, but in the back so not noticeabe. Looking to keep one and sell the other. I think $1200 is a good deal for these. Looking for other feedback.

    I did offer $1k and he refused. Firm at $1200. I like them however will probably pass unless he comes down to $1k or so. Thanks.

    When he comes back to accept your 1K offer, offer him $800.00.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

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

    There's better bang for the buck right here on the forum. That Carver in our for sale section had my attention until I just decided to quit shucking n jivin' and but buy a real amp that had no hours on it...if that's not an option..the Carver here looks very nice. Plus you know when you deal with a fellow polkie you can trust the product to be legit. At least all of my dealings here have been nothing but GREAT!

    FYI. The guy is down to $1000 for the pair. I had some challenges trying to arrange a time and the guy blew up at me on Facebook...a few F-bom's were thrown my way. I decided NOT to deal with him.
