    Wow, the lowest I have seen this on the 'gon was about $1550 plus fees. I had been eyeballing one of these for a while now.

    While taking pics and giving the inspection I'd have to say this is a solid 9!

    Should mention I have the original double boxes. I will be putting the A5 up on A-gon later today for $100 more.

    I have an A5 - and love it. Awesome integrated for the price and ample power to drive 8 or 4 ohm loads.

    The HT direct/bypass is schweet!

    Somebody needs to jump on this.

    What are they using to give it that much power but little weight? Is this an Ice amp? Or something more along the carver\Sunfire line with a different kind of power supply?

    I wouldn't call the A5 'little weight' - it weights in at 37lbs.
