Perfect condition. Original box and packing. A beast of an amp @ 85 lbs & 220 high-current watts per channel. Best sounding amp I've owned (Anthem, Rotel Sherbourn, B&K, Emotiva.. to name a few).

**SOLD**. FIRM. Lower-48 ONLY. Paypal is fine. Pickup is great too (Auburn, WA).

Hi-res pics available on request for those interested.

    Ah sad, you have a fantastic amp in the neighborhood and I have no funds. :( Good luck on the sale as that is a great piece of equipment.

    Okay. Bump with slightly lower price to match best price on Audiogon.

    And again, mine is perfect.

    Not 100% sure I'm ready to pull the trigger, but I'm pondering. What would it cost to insure and ship to Austin, TX?

    I don't know your exact zip, but doing a rough quote with FedEx (home delivery I assume?) going to Austin zip 73301, fully insured.. was $86.92. Your actual zip may be a little more or a little less.. and delivery to a business would be less also.

    I'm interested. I have RTi12s, CSi5 and Fxi4's. I've been looking for a good amp for these speakers, and I live in Lynnwood so I could drive down and pick it up. What would the price be if I drove down to pick it up? (you can PM me if you'd like).

    Thanks for the PM. Two quick questions, why are you selling it and how old is it (what's the mfc date)?

    Downsizing. It's a great amp. But my speakers and the smallish'ness of my room don't utilize this thing to its potential.

    I don't know the build date on it.. If you want, I can PM you the serial and maybe Parasound can look up that data...

    Great amp. . . but something must have been wrong with your B&K if this sounds better :)

    Just kidding. Good luck with your sale. Great amp!

    :)

    I had the B&K 7270 II, and it was too much on the relaxed side of neutral (IMO). The Parasound is right there, dead center, to my ears.

    But with both.. no worries about power. :)
