One and only price drop to $1075

For sale is my Blue Circle Audio BC-22 mkII amp. I have original packaging and manual.

I'm offering for $1075 here + shipping. This is the revised version with improved wiring and power supply etc. Seems these come up relatively infrequently. I think the price is fair. The last sale on audiogon was nearly $1300.

# Power output: 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms
# Power requirement: 120 VAC 50/60Hz, 600 W Max; also available for 100, 200 or 240 VAC
# Dimensions: (w x h x d): 17.5" x 3.625" x 14.375" | 445 mm x 92 mm x 365 mm
# Weight (without packaging): 30 lbs | 13.6 kg

Sounds great full sound, lush and very involving/engaging, musical. Get's you in touch with your music.

It's a solid 8 on the Agon scale. One tiny nic at the very back edge. I honestly couldn't get a pic of it but I also have no photo skills!

You can read a fair amount about this amp at the link below.

I'm also considering letting go of my Anthem pre-2l...we'll see.


Thanks,
Rich

    Casual bump for a sweet amp. I just came across my notes for when I first listened to this amp. Here is a list of adjectives I jotted down:

    rich
    lush
    puts it together
    involving
    molds/holds the music
    palpable
    more musical?
    touring sedan
    magic
    intangible
    could eat/taste the music

    You can practically eat and drive this amp that's how sweet it is!

    I am wondering if the rating of 125 wpc has deterred potential buyers. The wpc means little in the scheme of things, at least thats what I have learned. IT ALL ABOUT QUALITY AND THIS UNIT IS QUALITY. And I know it for a reason, I studied up on it before buying the Belles for alot more.

    Could be, It's never been "necessary" even in loud sessions to move past 50/60%. Even at louder levels it's NEVER harsh.

    If I can't move this amp I'm going to have to ask for the pre back ;)

    (or continue to listen through the Onkyo pre hmmm... :(
