in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Ifyou’ve seen my other ads, it’s obvious I’m cleaning house.

Specifically a 1000 and a 1000A. To the best of my knowledge the diff is, the “A” has a 12V remote turn on.

Preferred by more than a few Polkies to drive unmodified RTi/RTi A series speakers.
I know they will drive the RTi10/RTi A7 full range w/out “breaking a sweat.” The RTi 12/RTi A9 speakers if supplemented by a Sub should do fine but I’d get a second opinion before buying.

This link ...

https://parasound.com/vintage/hca1000a.php

...should answer your techie/specs questions

Asking $225 for the 1000; $250 for the 1000A - both plus shipping. Local PU or a short ride will $ave😊

Payment by PayPal or maybe Venmo Prefer PMs for questions.

Thanks for looking, Tony

    U$P$ $hipping estimates from 30630
    West cost: about $95
    Rockford, IL 61107 about $55
    Panama City, FL 32412 about $35

    Estimates derived from recent research to ship a Belles* series One amp. The P’sounds weigh close to the above* but are shaped differently - may affect $. UPS and Fedex may be more or less.

    Regardless I will pack it well - ask George D or MSG😊

    For the record: No external sub. The LSi15's have the upgraded DB840 subs installed.

    The asking price of these amps has sure gone up in recent years and some are for "as is not tested". You have an excellent price listed.
