Looking for someone with experience with this amp. Thoughts? I'm kinda wanting another power amp for a 4th rig in my house. And found this amp locally. Asking price is $325. Not sure if that is a good price. L10 preamp is another $175

It was one of the best amps I've ever had here. It had the flickering power switch too.
I sold mine for 200 or close to it.
I needed some spare cash.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Nothing but great luck with my old Acurus and replaced it with another Acurus and the thing kicks but. Doesn't get a lot of action but when it does it serves it up. A2007"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

A number of years ago I got to listen to an Acurus 100X3. It was a really nice sounding amp. I almost bought it but the price was a little high and I found out it may have issues driving low impedance speakers. The A100X3 apparently has better current drive. I assume the same applies to the A250.Stan

Polk LSi15 (DB840 upgrade), Parasound: P/LD-1100, HCA-1000A; Denon: DVD-2910, DRM-800A; Benchmark DAC1, Monster HTS3600-MKII, Grado SR-225i; Technics SL-J2, Parasound PPH-100.

I currently use the A100X3 for my center and rears. It is a great sounding amp and fits my needs.

Yes both are vintage Mondial amps. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea who bought the mkii version
