Pulled voluntarily. My other deal seems to be falling through. Sorry to set off a few radars prematurely.

    Your about 2 weeks too late for me. I was looking for an amp with this kind of power for months, and I just secured an HCA-2200ii a week ago Friday. Mine was about 71 lbs shipped for reference. These amps will drive just about anything and barely break a sweat.

    You might want to clarify, is yours the original HCA-2200 or the Mk2 version? Easy to tell if you have small jumper straps across the balanced inputs (to use unbalanced) its the early mk1 version. If you have two switches to select balanced or unbalanced its the mk2.

    Mine is an honest 7/conservative 6 but functions wonderfully with my SDA-SRS's. If you need a brute, you can't do better for the cash. I think this amp is the father of the Halo series 250w stereo amp. Buyer will have to pay shipping as this thing will likely be 70-80 pounds shipped.

    I'll price it accordingly, of course if I do indeed move this piece.

    Thanks,

    Mine has no "Mk2" designation. All I have is a single switch to swap between balanced and unbalanced. No jumpers between blanced inputs either.

    Might help to know that the last non-mk2 on ebay went for about $475.

    I got mine (mk2) for $405, but the listing was not very good and it looked pretty dirty in the photos. When I received it, the front was clean, but the top had some scuffs that went through the paint. Probably a 7/10.

    Wish you were closer and I had the money. Been trying to scare up a good power amp.
