So I have had these for a little while now, maybe under 6 months, and already have the bug. I’m sure if you follow the forum, you’ll see why I am selling. At this time although I have 2 pairs, I will only be selling one pair.
They are flawless. Powerful. And very high quality.
They sold for $1200 each when new and still hold their own with today’s newer amps. They have been recapped about 8 years ago by Linn. They were purchased used from a Linn dealer here in Atlanta. I currently have two running my Elacs, and only at ear bleeding levels (which I like) do they seem to run out of steam. They are rated at 125wpc into 8ohms and 240wpc into 4
They will need “Z” type Bananas as they have the post in the middle of the speaker connector.
Again, I’m only selling as I probably will never need an additional pair. I’m keeping the other two and I want them for a later in life two channel setup when one of the kids move out.
I would like to get what I have in them because I got them at a great deal. $800 for the pair plus shipping. I will box them up right (ask anyone who has gotten anything from me, I ship very responsibly)
100 posts or more and lower 48 only
They will be shipped with standard power cables and a pair of Linn IC’s
PayPal F&F payment required.

Yes, these are quality units for sure, and Joe's in particular are immaculate...look brand new. I suspect they could drive just about any speakers thrown at them. The sound is quite impressive, and at this price, provide a great opportunity for trying monoblocks. They have other possibilities as well for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
I can also attest to Joe listening at ear-splitting levels

Drew. No they cannot. They use Z type bananas (sometimes known as BFA) as the connections are not a hole but more of a post. Google BFA but most speaker cables with banana connectors are the Z type

Since I already got the power replaced, it’s onto a new phono pre and a new power supply.

Didn’t notice the 1200 was a less shiny 1000. Thought it was the in-between. Audioquest power conditioners are super sweet.2 channel:
