Yeap. It's true Vox/Klipsch buys the likes of Onkyo. Blose buys McIntosh. Another opportunity missed for a great pairing! “Over the last six decades we’ve delivered the best premium audio experiences possible; now, with McIntosh Group in our portfolio, we can unlock even more ways to bring music to life in the home, on the go and in the car,” says Lila Snyder, CEO of Bose Corporation." Yeah right. Seems the other way around to me. Can't wait to see the $10K sound bar with blue meters 😂

McIntosh MX130 A/V Tuner Control Center $1000 This is a 5 channel preamp with the 7083 tuner module Clean and for the most part, excellent condition I used it mainly for stereo, utilizing the center channel output for the 3 channel Khorn system I was running. One of the aluminum vertical side bars was damaged in shipping when I bought it (20 years ago?). I had the glass front panel replaced at that time. A few of the incandescent front panel lamps are burned out. And there seems to be a small crack developing in the new glass panel at the corner of the Camcorder/Headphones cover opening. I have no idea how or when. This unit was rarely moved. The remote control back cover is missing (that’s how I bought it). I’ve just used some black duct tape to keep the batteries in. Batteries not included. Shipping to Continental United States included. Brand New original shipping box included. Sold As Is PayPal

BS. There are just as many, if not more crappy tube amps than "chip" amps. Execution and skill of the designer/engineer are far more important. My most recent "chip" amp is a NAD M23 and it is absolutely killer. I haven't felt compelled to use any of my tube amps since installing it last April. And, just for the record, I have a LOT more tube amps than "chip"/solid state.

Top/This shows what I'm pretty sure is an original cosmetic defect - the very slight circular "indentation". No seen under most circumstances
