So I am putting up my PS Audio monos for sale, no other reason that I want to try something different. I have been told this is a lateral at best move but most likely will not be able to match the performance of these amps with my change.
But you guys should know how that bug bites you.
I have had these for over a year or so and purchased them brand new. I have all the boxes, manuals etc.
they are stupid powerful and I never tapped into the full 350wpc @8 or 700wpc @4 but when I did crank, they always took my breath away.
Flawless performance, and very good condition.
Full disclosure I have two minute scratches on the right side of each amp. You cannot see these unless looking up really close with light right on the area. But I wanted to make sure any potential buyer knew that was there.
I do take very good care of my gear and this was a stupid move trying to get back in my audio furniture and scratched them.
Regardless, you will not see it and they will look incredible in any rack (see full on pics)
I would like to see $1900 plus shipping for these. PayPal only. Add PP fees also unless paying F&F. I have sold many things on this forum and hopefully some of those guys can say that I was a fair seller with accurate descriptions of items.
100 posts or more and lower 48 only.
I also and waiting on a new amp to arrive and would request a hold for anyone who wants them so I don’t have to be without for a week. Payment can be made as I ship for a buyer who I know. If not, can purchase after new amp arrives.
Thanks.
Here are the two scratches (I did touch them up but they are hairline scratches)

Good dude here, heard his setup with these and they had no issues powering his speakers for sure

At $3k retail, these should move quickly. GLWS.

In case anyone missed the very positive Stereophile review, where they were favorably compared to the reviewer's $12k reference monoblocks: https://www.stereophile.com/content/ps-audio-stellar-m700-monoblock-power-amplifier

Also listed on CL for much more and they may not last. Thought I would give my pals the best deal.

This tube pre-amp would be a great match!!! https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/192050/don-sachs-model-2-tube-preamp#latest"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Removing the speaker cables from the mix. Back to $1900 plus shipping.
Got some early bites on CL so hurry and get this better price. -
I hope that the reason these haven't sold yet isn't because of the fact that they are Class D.
Anyone who's on the fence would be wise to make the jump into these as their first foray into this type of amplifier topology.
These amplifiers have the ability to completely change your expectations of what Class D can sound like. -
These amps are sold

Yup
I deliver my amps to the buyer Monday and the A21+ gets here Wednesday
So two nights with no tunes. But will be worth the wait. -
Awesome !
I’m sure you’ll love it ..
Probably has way more “grunt” than the m700’s.
I still prefer a traditional class A/B amp over class D...
I would be running the A21 with the Salks , but it won’t fit in my cabinet - and the Stellar S300 is dual mono and I don’t have a A1 interconnect for the 1C’s anyway.
You will truly be AMAZED at how big that A21+ is ...
Seriously, it’s frickin huge ..... and heavy.
Don’t waste your time with the “sensing” trigger - it’s too finicky , use the 12v trigger.
Congratulations!
