Will post more pics soon.

I would rate this 7/10 give or take. No real major marks, but enough minor ones to rate it conservatively. Not even sure I could photograph it, but on the edges you can see some marks and such. Any distance over 18" the amp looks very very good.

Dual transformers, loads of storage. A true beast of an amplifier. Stable to 2 ohms.

Not quite a Kismet, but close! :-)

$1000 shipped with paypal with original box and packing

    I believe the extreme comes. In around 180? It's really the fact it can dip to 2 ohms, tons of current
