    To sweeten the deal I’ll add a way to power up and power down the amp if your SSP/prepro/AVR has 5V or 12V out to turn on a relay...

    oops! Sorry. A few omitted details. Gold plated RCAs and banana jacks - white box not included.

    A little dusty but until recently, it was my dedicated Center Channel amp.

    I’m considering “packaging” it w/my Outlaw Audio 975 prepro. But that for another post

    Dropping the package price - the above w/the Outlaw 975 Pre/pro & Furman MP-20

    East of the Mississippi $500 shipped!
    West of, a little higher.

    Read the expert reviews! A solid all channels driven 100WPC RMS X FIVE, 20-20K.

    I preferred the Outlaw SQ over a pre-HDMI Rotel hands down.
