Quicksilver Silver 88

These Quicksilver Silver 88s are beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, just spectacularly gorgeous. And they sound amazing also with KT150s tubes in them, although you can run them with a variety of tubes from EL34 to KT88, 6550 etc.   
The sound as configured is outstanding. It's a warm but very strong and quick sound. Please come and listen to it. I have them set up with Gallo Ref 3.1 and the matching sub amp. It's going to freak you out. This rig with a decent preamp will go up against any setup under $20k. 

These chrome monoblocks look so astoundingly gorgeous, so beautiful, so spectacularl, that if you do come over to take a look/listen to them (which you're welcome to do as long as you bring cash to cover the purchase) I'm sure you're going to leave with them.

As with all Quicksilver gear -- and I have owned a LOT of it -- there is no better sound per dollar in the world. I'm only selling these because I have too much gear, WAY too much Quicksilver gear that I'm not using. 

The only cosmetic issue worth mentioning on these amps is a small dent in the back corner. I've got it in a picture, but you're never going to see this unless you're standing behind the amp or holding it up.     
I'm including the amps, the printed manual, and a set of tubes that are sounding terrific. No boxes. No low ballers. These are a high quality Hi Fi item, if you cannot afford them don't waste my time.   

I'd prefer local pickup on these since. I'll ship them but that's going to be expensive and a pain, so I'll only get into that with you if you're ready to buy. 

Product Info
QUICKSILVER SILVER 88 MONO AMPLIFIER

The Quicksilver Audio Silver 88 mono-block amplifiers are hand-built and hardwired in the USA. What makes the Silver 88 amp truly special is its harmonic presentation. Instruments and vocals have a realism, dimensionality, body and harmonic structure that even the best solid-state amplifiers somehow cannot quite reproduce.

Employing only two KT-88 output tubes, the Silver 88 provides 80 watts without stressing or pushing these tubes to their limit, and with the lowest output impedance and distortion of all the Quicksilver amplifiers, the Silver 88 brings a new level of performance to this power range. The super low 0.5 ohms output impedance of the Silver 88 is almost unheard of among tube amplifiers and allows the unit to drive very difficult speaker loads you'd generally never think of using with tube gear.

An on-board bias meter allows individual adjustment of each output tube and, with low-noise power supplies and circuitry, the Silver 88 can still be used on very efficient speakers. Two power transformers and 180 Joules of energy storage provide effortless dynamic response, transmitting the full musical impact of sudden shifts from soft to loud. A modification of the sleek look of the V4, the Silver 88 has a chrome-plated chassis and carbide black transformer cover.
