If you have a lead or if you want to sell yours, I’ll buy it.

Silver or black, I can do either.

Thx

    haha

    I have the amp stands for them, the amp stands are empty and need amps.
    Would be nice as a secondary to the main amp.

    So you're looking for mono's because your amp stands are lonely? Good luck with finding them. They look to be some stellar amps! What are you going to match them with, a Pass pre?

    Those are stellar ramps!
    Just wondering though… I don’t recall the SQ difference between the anniversary edition vs the reference ed. Can you enlighten me, sir?

    Had the Cary 211FE in the past, had SRA amp stands custom for the cary monoblocks. Sold the 211FE, but kept the amp stands. Always told myself that I'd get the 805AE someday to fill the void.

    I know there's a new 805RS, but I don't know what the big differences are between the 2 yet. Itll be impossible to find those RS. And the cost difference may not be worth the sonic difference... I think.

    Cary 805ae vs 805rs you mean?
    Or do you mean the 211fe vs 805ae?

    Hey man
    Not sure what the difference is, I read reviews and it appears there are internal changes. Auto bias also.
    If the cost difference is one or two K, I can see jumping to the newer one, otherwise I think an AE is fine.

    How’s your Cary?

    @Joey_V

    Not sure if these are the ones you are looking for. They don't say AE?
