Mad. Think of the entire system you could build for £65k.

So why didn't you bid then? It would have saved me the cost of having to ship it to Norway, which I underestimated by £15!Originally Posted by tommy6206

I'm Paul.
you'd want a demo first before committing yourself
Not far from either of us Martin, why dont we contact the seller and pop over for a listen - it is after all the 'best amp ever'. Fancy having the pressure of justifying that tag? why doesn't he just start it at 99p and see what happens.
Paul.
LOL - I can't believe he's going to get a bid on that starting price anyway, Paul.

Have you ever heard one mate?
I've heard some of the top AN amps, Ali. I would categorise them as low powered specialist amps with great spacious sound but lacking in welly. They need sympathetic partnering speakers, with which they can be superb but not to my taste.
I would value them at 1/10 of that price, which I think is fair. Any more than that and you are paying for the brand.
