The amp is 25 years old.
This unit is a 230V European model. I'm informed that the design factors are sufficiently high for operation at 240V to be acceptable.

The ticket says £850.
This is a fair price. They sell for £1200 in Europe and £2k in Japan.
Payment via PayPal, please.
Carriage is extra to this, to be covered by the buyer. (It will be approximately £40 for a 24 hour service via UPS.)
Thanks.

Who needs Krell?

I'm willing to haggle like a Eurocrat if you wish to make an offer.

Watch out, there's Ze Cherman stamp on it!

There have been some loverly amps in the classifieds recently.
If you missed these and fancy something a little different, then this MX-1 will make you smile.
It's neutral, refined - and a heavy beast.

I'm open to offers - discussed over a virtual cup of tea.
