The title says it all: am looking for good quality 200-250 watt Amplifier (to go with my Onkyo 705 & RTi10s)

must be easy to use, in perfect functioning condition - (I'm an electronically-challenged newbie) and should have original manual.

Ideally should be able to handle 4ohm speakers...

Not concerned about minor visible issues - scratches & whatnot)

    Xandra, Where are you located? I have a Parasound HCA-2200ii (250wpc into 8ohms, 385 into 4 ohms), that I'm selling here, but right now, I don't want to ship it. The only thing is it doesn't have remote turn on, which may be something you desire if you are mating it to an AV receiver.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    What price range are we looking at? Give or take.......

    Well, if a little times passes, I'll probably consider shipping it. Its heavy and requires a lot of packaging, but it can be shipped.

    Whoops - had bit of encounter with a errant dustpan on sunday, - sprained ankle, bruised elbows acceptable, (all just further evidence that I wasn't put on this earth to clean.)...but my laptop went down with me. So far it boots, but behaving a little erratically & strange screen articats, I better hold off on major purchases (amps etc), till I can figure out if its just some loose wires, or a gonner.
