Breakdown7 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 EVERYTHING IS SOLD I have decided to offer up my Quicksilver Audio tube system for sale. Mono 120 amplifiers with the optional KT-150's...120 watts/channelRemote Line Stage using a pair of 6922's.These Mono 120 amps are Mike Sanders' newest design, just released this past fall. The transformers on these amps are huge! 120 watts per channel of tube power with the Tung-Sol KT-150 tubes. The Remote line stage is also very nice. This system together will provide a transparent sound that is hard to find with lots of tube gear. It reveals a whole different dimension to most recordings. Wonderfully natural and detailed sound signature, while having 120 watts of power.Although I am loving the sound of the system, we are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen, re-landscaping the whole yard and other home projects. My bank account is bleeding. If I were to sell these, it would make things a little easier with our projects. The wife keeps adding to the list and I'm about spent out :-( These monoblock amps and matching line stage are only three months old. I am the original owner. No flaws; like brand new. Original boxes/packing/manuals/etc. will be included of course. The system has 350 hours of use and just now broken in good. I have been keeping track of the hours precisely and listening to the sound changes as everything has slowly been burned in properly. This gear was not a demo; built to order just for me. I would like to get $5000, and I will cover the shipping. Contact me for more pics if you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth2 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have not heard the 120's, but I have the mid-monos. Some people who have listened to the mid-mono's, connected to Forte II's and a grounded grid amp have said they sound better than my khorn system. GLWS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question would be - what is powering your KHorns? Or might those people have tin ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either a VAC or VRD's and a Wyetech Ruby preamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown7 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have not heard the 120's, but I have the mid-monos. Some people who have listened to the mid-mono's, connected to Forte II's and a grounded grid amp have said they sound better than my khorn system. GLWS! I can believe it. These amps sound incredible; Really. They compete with gear costing more than double the price of admission. I'm very satisfied with the sound of these. Only selling this system to focus my finances elsewhere for the time being. My loss is your gain. These are only three months old and I'm knocking $1000 off the price new. I've got lots of other gear that is going to get moved to the reference system. Downgrading is sometimes helpful financially, due to other priorities...at least from my perspective. That being said, this is not a "flash sale". If it doesn't move for my asking price, then I will happily keep the system and sell some other stuff. Just wanted to see if any members were interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown7 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) How about $4800 shipped for everything? Edited July 18, 2016 by Breakdown7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bmusic Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have not heard these amps. But I a chated with this fellow I met at an Audio Store when I was in Austin Texas. This fellow could buy anything he wanted and pretty much did. He told me when he got these amps, he stopped looking... at least for amps anyway. After we talked the store owner said his system sounds fantastic and was well thought out. Due to this, I wanted to buy these amps. They were way more than I could afford at the time. I am willing to bet these are wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bmusic Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think things are just slow right now. For many, school is starting soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown7 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 One final price drop before I decide to keep this system.... $4500 + shipping charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I think things are just slow right now. For many, school is starting soon. Yes, summer is traditioanlly slow for hifi sales. People are outside enjoying warm weather activities. And yes, school and associated expenses are just around the corner. I've seen many "new, lower price" on many AGon and US Audiomart offerings.

Breakdown7 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately it does seem that way. I wasn't aware that things slow down in the summer months, but I guess you guys are right. I'm losing my butt on the Quicksilver system at $4500, but would like to move it on to a new home. 120 watts of tube power is hard to come by, especially at the price. If you need some amps with balls, these are it. They drive my Legacy Focus 20/20 speakers effortlessly and sound incredible. Looks like I may end up keeping them hooked up to the Quicksilvers.

Breakdown7 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 The line stage has now been SOLD. I still have the Mono 120 amps and would like to sell them if anyone is interested. $3500 + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
