For sale is a Parasound HCA-1500A THX Ultra certified 2-channel amp featuring 205 watts at 8-ohms stereo, 315 watts at 4-ohms stereo, and 630 watts at 8-ohms mono. This amp weighs 40 pounds and is built like a tank. It was purchased in 2003, and has been sitting in my closet for 2 years ever since I bought a Parasound New Classic 5125 for a 5-channel setup. The 5125 serves my needs, so this one is for sale. Absolutely no scatches or marks. I will ship in the 5125's box.
Price: $480. Buyer pays actual shipping via insured FedEx Ground. Add 3% if Paypal is used. Personal checks and money orders are fine too.
