Emotiva UPA-2

I am the original owner of this Emotiva UPA-2 stereo/2-channel amp, which I would conservatively grade at 8/10 due to its age & a very slight blemish on the L side-panel. I purchased it new directly from Emotiva in 2011.  It has been meticulously cared for in a smoke-free home with no use by anyone other than me.  It has been in use up to this afternoon when I removed it from my Emotiva-based 5.1 surround sound system.

Emotiva amps consistently review well in the audio review rags & are well known for their ability to punch well above their price tag.  The sound it produces is detailed & precise without sounding dry & clinical.  The soundstage & imaging are better than would be anticipated at this price point.  The highs are crisp, but not fatiguing.  Bass is robust & full.  These amps work extremely well in A/V as well as audiophile applications.  

This amp will come packed in its original, heavy-duty, double-walled, densely-foamed shipping carton.  Included is the original power cable & a printed copy of the Owner’s Manual <I will also include the original, if I can lay my hands on it. If you would like, I can also send you a pdf copy of the manual.

From the size and weight of the boxed amp, shipping will not be inexpensive & full insurance will be required.  I will charge you by the estimate provided by the UPS website – if that estimate is dramatically more than it ends up actually costing, I will refund the difference to you. I prefer to ship via UPS I ship via UPS <if you demand FedEx, I can arrange that>, but due to previous experiences, I will NOT ship it USPS.  However, if you live in central Arkansas or are willing to drive to here & wish to meet me to exchange the amp for cash <or if you have made prepayment>, you could save the S&H.
