Anthem Amp 1 - Modded
Push pull EL34, with upgraded Jensen caps. One 12AX7 on the front end, along with a pair of 12AU7. 40~watts per channel, 4 and 8 ohm taps. Wonderful sounding amplifier. 9/10 on cosmetics, super clean with original box. Top case included.
Ships with a quad of matched NOS JAN Richardson (East German) EL34, Amperex 12AX7 Bugle Boy driver, and a pair of NOS JAN 6189 (mil spec 12AU7) on the front end. Tubes alone are worth near $200. First one with the cash gets it, period.
I've wanted to keep it, but I'm picking up some big NHT to play with for a while, so I'm going to look at something solid state.
$550 shipped.

2.1's
Mid to late 90's floorstander, $1700/pair retail. Two 6.5 inch woofs in the bottom section, one 6.5 and a soft dome on top. Slanted front, piano black, yada yada.....
I had 2.5's at one time, and have always regretted selling them.Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service. -
Pardon me...do those have the Bad **** Blue Caps?

Yes they do. The Big Badass Blue Caps to be specific.Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

This would naturally be a perfect match for the Anthem Pre1L or Pre2L if anyone owns such an animal. If you own a SS pre-amplifier, with efficient speakers...it would warm up the end result simply by nature.
If you're afraid of tubes, this isn't the time to be wary. It's a great piece of gear, plain and simple. This is the type of piece that causes serious impact and selling of other gear.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
I'll vouch, love my anthem 1 so far, ballsy for 40 watts. does my bozaks nice, with plenty of power to spare.
this one is modded for 50 bucks more than I paid, sounds like a hell of a deal to me.
dude, you couldnt sell this a couple of weeks ago? CMON DUDE

its allright bud, Doro's right on the timing. if I would have waited I wouldnt have bought it anyway. I'm on work furlough until the budget crisis in the state of NJ is resolved (state shut down). could be weeks, could be months. Luckily I have savings to tide me over, so I'm not near defcon 1 yet, but others in my staff are not so luckyLiving Room 2 Channel -
