FS: Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 Integrated Amplifier

I've decided to go ahead sell this lovely Class-D integrated amp after getting my LSA amp back from repair. I bought this last year to fill in while I was waiting to get the big amp back. It really did a great job powering my 4-ohm SS-M9 and the amp is very dynamic and detailed. Made in USA build quality. Lots of great reviews out there. This is the V1 version, but according to EJ Saramento (Wyred founder), this particular one was made in 2015, so it is one of the last before the switch to the V2 version (which is less powerful into 4ohms). It has the latest version of the B&O Ice Power 500ASP modules, which have proven to be very reliable.

So, I'm asking $725+shipping for this STI-500. This originally sold for around $2000. The price for the V2 is around $1300 on clearance if I recall. This is a very capable balanced integrated amp with 250wpc into 8ohms and 550wpc into 4ohms. It never broke a sweat with my SS-M9. The preamp section includes a restive ladder control that has many fine steps. It also has balance control, phase inversion and HT-bypass which can be assigned to any of the inputs. All the input names can be programmed as well. I purchased a brand new remote when i got it because the old one is kind of grungy and one of the buttons falls off. Includes original double box packaging (plus a generic 3rd outer box for shipping), manual, power cord, two remotes, and 12v trigger wire. It will weigh about 28lbs ready for shipping and it will be United Parcel Smashers bomb proofed. (I prefer FedEx Ground myself). Local sales (Atlanta Metro) welcome too and I would be glad to audition it. I'll leave it here for Polkies through the weekend. If no interest, I'll put it on USaudiomart next week for a slightly higher price.

Cosmetically, I don't see any flaws. Operationally, it was perfect during my use.

Thanks! BTW, I noticed a little discoloration around the left side of the left front black anodized piece. I thought the anodize might be worn thru, but it was just some dust embedded into the brushed finish. It came off after a little wiping with a clean towel. Now it looks perfectly black, even with the rest of the finish.
