Dave, I appreciate the offer but at the moment I'm not really interested in pro amplifiers. I'll never had a set arrangement for my system and I want to avoid input sensitivity/balacing/impedance issues.
Fritz, are you just trying to needle me on the odd method or is my goal really not that clear? OK, I'll try to clear up any confusion that Dave's response didn't cover:
I am looking for a stereo home audio power amplifer or pair of monoblock power amplifiers (possibly and/or a preamplifier), ideally at least 200 WPC into 8ohms, owned by someone who is (or has his/her agent) in the New England area. In return for the previously mentioned amplification device(s), I would like to trade a something, or an assortment of somethings, that the former amplifer owner can feel comfortable with. To that end, I do not mind trading something (or assortment thereof) exceeding the value or popularity, within a reasonable margin, of device(s) received in trade. The previous language "reasonable margin" is to be determined on a case-by-case basis as required. As a real world example of this concept, the "reasonable margin" can be assumed to be greater for a McIntosh in good working order than it would be for a Kenwood requiring maintenace.
Work for you? I'd use braille or sign lanugage if I could, but they're still trying to add that to the forum.
