B & K Reference 70 Home Theater Preamp/Processor, w/Remote, Excellent Condition

Up for sale is a B&K Reference 70 Pre-Amplifier/Processor/Tuner with balanced XLR output for all channels as well as one set of inputs and an AES/EBU digital input.

Works great, screen is bright and comes with programmable remote that is in mint condition. There are a couple of scratches on the chassis but the face is in mint condition, please see the pictures. I do not have the original box but will package this in another processor box of similar size for protection. This is probably a "9" but I'm rating it an "8" to be conservative.

It was used lightly for about 4 years and then boxed up and stored. I recently decided to start selling off some of my gear since my theater has not been completed.

This processor has some of the best sounding ADC and DAC circuitry of any processor. B&K recognized that in order to excel with this processor, they needed to design a processor with the highest quality digital circuitry.
