MSB Technology M204

MSB’s M204 is the 4th generation of this great amplifier. Although the tower design is striking when seen in person the design intention was less of a visual statement and more of an engineering refinement. What shape would give the maximum heatsink, the shortest possible signal and power paths, and take up the least floor space? The internal circuitry is built in a cube rather than a flat circuit board allowing the shortest possible signal and power paths. Although this 200 watt amp is class A it does not feel “class A hot" to the touch because of the huge number of heat sinks and 360 degree open vertical cooling. It is a true balanced design input to output Maybe the biggest feature of this amp is zero negative feedback. Other amp designs use “minimal” negative feedback or “local instead of global” negative feedback. MSB was able to achieve zero negative feedback that is normally reserved for very low watt amps. The M204 has zero negative feedback at 200 watts doubling into 4 ohms at 400 watts. Zero negative feedback also allows for much simpler circuitry with a minimum number of parts in the signal path. The result of all this is a clarity in the mids and highs that is seldom heard from solid state amps. One can stop thinking of amp “flavors” and enjoy an amp that has no sound of it’s own.

This pair is in new condition. They were used only at audio shows so they have low hours. Thanks for looking.

Payment: Unfortunately over the past few years Paypal has become decreasingly likely to get involved in disputes at all, and occasionally will refund a buyer’s money completely without having to return the item. Unfortunately there are a few unscrupulous people trying to take advantage of that, already forcing us to relist a few items. These very few people ruin it for the rest of us well-intentioned hobbyists. For that reason we are only accepting wire transfers.

If you want confidence in your payment you should know we are the sales department for a well known manufacturing company and will discuss with you by phone, who we are and anything you want to know about the items we sell, how we used them and their history. Thanks for looking. All REASONABLE offers considered. Low ball offers will not be considered or responded to.
