youngjj Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Really nice matched B&K Components pair, Pro-5 pre-amp and ST-140 power amp. Sweet tube-like sound. Pro-5 has a good phono stage. Used these with LaScalas and Choruses. Great presence and soundstage. I moved last year and retired. Now in a smaller house. Had to sell the LaScalas and now the amps. Honestly, the B&Ks sound as good to me as the Scott LK-72 tube amp refurbed by Craig Ostby that I also used with the LaScalas. I have seen great reviews for the ST-140. It is a solid unit. I have also seen some for the Pro-5 complaining of problems with the RCA connectors, but I have had no problems at all. Listening in the passive mode on the Pro-5, bypassing the gain stage, the sound is excellent. $200 for the pair. Charlotte, NC area. I will be glad to ship and will pack them like armor plate for safe arrival. Thanks. B&K ST-140 power amplifier Specifications Description: Solid-state stereo power amplifier.

willland Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 B&K Components pair, Pro-5 pre-amp and ST-140 power amp, really sweet sound, reviewed as sounding tube-like and they do, used with LaScalas (http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/the-80s-wonder-or-how-i-bought-a-b-k-st-140-amplifier.226042/) - $300 for the pair Heard really good things about this pair.

Sidevalve Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have never seen anybody that can package gear like youngjj ! Took me one hour to unpack some speakers that he sold me, He knows how to pack and ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We could probably get around the pay pal fees. PM me if interested in 200 shipped. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngjj Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Still available. At this very low price, I ask that the buyer pay shipping. I will package the amps at my expense to survive handling by gorillas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
