B&K EX-442 Sonata Stereo Power Amplifier

Highly prized and increasingly rare 200/wpc power amp from B&K. This is the bronze finished version, states EX-442 Sonata Series across the lower front panel striped area. There are some blemishes in the finish of the front panel, but hardly a ding or nick otherwise and the amp operates fine. Turn on and turn off offers no unpleasant 'thumps' either. All the small capacitor were recently replaced and the bias adjusted. The amp has been used with a variety of speakers with excellent results including some recently acquired Magnepan SMG-C speakers which pose a true 4-ohm load and are highly inefficient. The amp weighs a lot more than you'd think for its size and it's well built. RCA or balanced inputs available in back at the flip of a switch. 900 watt electrical rating. Shipping will be via FedEx Ground using double-boxing and extreme packing for safe arrival. $399, shipping included for the continental U.S. Might ship to Canada but the shipping will be a bit costly as priority mail international is the only reasonable option.
