I will cover PayPal fee and Shipping to lower 48.
Hello A’goners,
let me start by saying that this 4 channel Power Amp is pretty much best kept secret in High End Audio. It is essentially 4 monoblocks sharing same chassis. With its power rating at 600 watts per channel in stable 2 Ohms, it will drive anything you throw at it with authority. With its damping factor of over 2000 first thing I did after hooking it up to my floorstanders was to disconnect my subwoofer. It grabs ahold of speaker drivers so well that it took me some time to believe that my speakers had the low extension I was hearing. Mids and highs are silky smooth with fantastic resolution but fatigue free. It compels you to just truly enjoy music. It hands down bested my Hegel H20 2 channel power amp in every regard not to mention it had 2 extra channels. If I would to compare it with some other gear I own, I’d say it has authority in low end region almost identical to my Krell FPB 600. As for mids and highs in extension and resolution, it’s on par with my darTZeel NHB-108 model 1. It’s just that good. It looks fantastic and weighs 85lbs packed. I own two of them so this one only has 3 hours on it. Please look at all of the pictures, there is a tiny nick on front top that was there when I unpacked it brand new which is reflected in my very fair pricing. I never installed feet since I only wanted to make sure all works as it should. It is double boxed with all of the stuff it came from factory. I will add some specs below. I have a 20 year long history on Audiogon with perfect record, so no worries at all. Let me know if you have any questions.

Questions for the seller
Hi, I’m new to bi-amping / bi-wiring. I guess I’m wondering if the c54 is compatible with a dac that only has one set of XLR outputs. Is this amp usable or does it need a dac that has two sets if xlr outs to successfully bi-amp?
Hello, usually you could split the signal output from your dac/preamp from each of the single outputs with Y splitter and it should work fine. I have done successfully before with different gear. Thanks.
