USNRET Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I would buy that if I was near; no road trip from down here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Only five channels, but absolutely a killer deal on a killer amp if it is working up to spec as advertised. I have the 200 X 7 and love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbphoto Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I live in the same town but I need another amp like I need a third eye. The guy has quite a setup in the background there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping someone really close might see me and check it out; not asking anyone to go out of their way. The background stuff is one thing making me think this might be in good shape.

opusk2k9 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think this is the guy that bought some THX subs from me. He told me about some of his gear, he buys good gear and takes care of it. I think he recently dropped the price from $800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has quite a setup in the background there. Gave him an offer of $700.00 ....2 weeks ago....he accepted the offer.....Then never came through with a response to arrange pickup. At the time he was asking $750.00. I does look like it is in good shape. I did here from him this morning... I mentioned I was no longer interested..... As far as the third eye thing....same here ....but it is an awesome amp for $700.00 Thanks, G.E.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Awesome amp. I've been using this model for about six years with no urge to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sometimes found myself giving confidence to a seller when I should have walked away and instead ended up with a headache situation that sometimes took months to work out.

oldred Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Picked up another set of Chorus II's. I really thought the Sunfire would be a nice piece to have. You know how impulse buys are...with the non response and seeing the item no longer listed on CL....Kind of moved on....just didn't have a good feeling. G.E.M.

MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yea... that's one killer amp.... and @ $700 that's a steal.... Those go for over a grand all day long on the e-bay.... in good shape and working 100%.... Looks like it has the base that goes with those amps...

JL Sargent Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It's only 5 channels and no HDMI. I guess I'm all about HDMI and ARC on my home theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I go straight to the monitor with hdmi from the video components. Besides, this is an amp, not a pre/pro. This is an amp for the long run, and swap out your pre/pro as needed for your little conveniences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I like my "little conveniences" thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 At the moment, I am using five channels, and if I wanted hdmi out of my pre/pro I would get one to do that. Additionally, one could pair this 5 channel amp with another multi channel amp and have as many channels as you want and never do better for the money.

USNRET Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I would like to buy this amp (condition dependent) and I use 5 channels from a Marantz pre/pro but would like to experiment, deviating from the one 5 channel I have now. Edit: not true; currently I am using 4.2 as the center Belle is not wired in and sitting lonely in the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldred Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Condition seems good. And it is a good deal. Just not for me at this time I also run a 5 channel system in second room. Currently run a Adcom GFA7605. Some one else also mentioned ARC....Ya know I have always been impressed with Audyssey ...sure seemed better than the old days with the Radio Shack SLM. I had a chance to buy a Anthem Prepro with ARC for my 7 channel room....... totally blew me away. G.E.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
