I have a PERFECT, Like New, Denon PMA-A100 100th Anniversary integrated amp for sale. It has less than 200 hours on it and not even broken in yet.

The PMA-A100 is an 80wpc integrated amp that does 160 watts into 4 ohms. It actually puts out 120 watts into 8 ohms and is underrated. It is part of Denon's 100th Anniversary series of products. It has a very good phono stage and good tone controls. There is a preamp out and main amp in for extra flexibility. This is a serious almost 60 pound hi current integrated amp.

In the Audioholics review they said:
"The stereo amps were put to good use, driving a pair of Salk Songtower speakers in our reference room. And honestly, the louder we played this amp, the better it sounded. I mean it, we had this thing cranking and we couldn't get any audio to distort. The speakers just asked for more and we could quickly tell that the contest between our ears and the power of the PMA-A100 was going to be won by the amp.

We ran a lot of music through this integrated amplifier, including one of our favorites from Jeff Wayne - the Musical Version of the War of the Worlds. We also played tracks from Seal, Blue Man Group and several albums from Steely Dan. The amps were extremely capable at pushing the low frequencies out of our Salk speakers to the point where it felt as if we had a small subwoofer in the room. On the high end, the tweeters retained all the detail of the tracks we played, never breaking up or sounding brittle. This amplifier just sounds refined and true."

"Denon's amplifier ratings are a bit peculiar. They could have very easily rated this a 120wpc amplifier and nobody would have argued it. I assumed they derated the power as a marketing strategy so that reviewers like myself would praise them from being ultra conservative. Let me just pause for a moment and throw some love and praise at Denon.....OK now that that's over, you would think Denon would have at least specified 4 ohm power as continuous and NOT dynamic since this amp can clearly deliver 165 watts continuously with both channels driven into 4 ohms. At any rate, the PMA-A100 has a sturdy power supply and ample output current. In fact, I'd say looking at the measurements, its clear Denon employed some current limiting when driving this amp into 4 ohms as it didn’t quite double down in power but still provided way above specified power. The PMA-A100 should be right at home driving virtually any moderately efficient speaker to reference levels."

This high-performance integrated amp includes special anniversary tuning, superior construction and parts, including a larger, upgraded speaker terminals, cast iron footing for less vibration and higher sound quality, and the 100th anniversary signature badge affixed to the facing of the amplifier. Each PMA-A100 in the collection has been hand tested and tuned by Denon engineers.

The A100 sounds excellent and is a very good deal at only $1180.00.
