HK watts ...
*wondering if PENG is triggered*
I really like those Marantz monoblocks MA500 and MA700 from the used market. Per pair they're ~ $200 and $400 and they outclass most mid level rec'rs. 4 Ohm stable ... small form factor ...
I'd sell you mine if I hadn't read all these posts by ADTG talking about external amps.
Maybe in a few weeks, after I return to my senses.
