A beast of an amp. The only thing heavier in my collection of consumer gear is a 5 channel Rotel.

I wish I could post a link. Instead... ...100WPC RMS, 30 amperes peak. I’ve had one (or more) of these in my system since the mid 80s. Never heard them distort, much less clip. Will lift the Polk RTi A7s “off the ground w/out breaking a sweat.” Not recommended for impedances below 4 ohms, very reactive loads, or both. I hear they run very warm to hot.

Later I’ll post pics of the view from above & the side so you can see the monster sized power supply components and the 6 finals per channel - didn’t think about it earlier. Right now at the community pool w/kids.

One has gold* plated* RCA* inputs the other the original RCAs

Asking $300* & $250** - both plus shipping. Local PU or a short ride will $ave😊
**the older amps came w/larger transformers - don’t know the specifics on either

Payment by PayPal or maybe Venmo. Prefer PMs for questions.

Thanks for looking, Tony

    The newer one (gold plated RCAs) received some TLC to include some of the finals replaced. The DC offset was close to if not in the single digits

    The older one I hafta check the DC offset as I can’t recall if it’s w/in acceptable limits (under 50mV) otherwise all components appear good.

    I haven’t used either in 3 1/2 - 4 years.

    U$P$ $hipping estimates from 30630
    West cost: about $95
    Rockford, IL 61107 about $55
    Panama City, FL 32412 about $35

    Estimates derived from recent research to ship a Belles* series One amp. The remaining Belles weighs slightly more - may affect $. UPS and Fedex may be more or less.

    Regardless I will pack it well - ask George D or MSG😊
