SIMAUDIO MOON I-3 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER 100watts

Needs no introduction!Amazing integrated from the famous Canadian Audiophile firm Simaudio in Black finish with 100/160/200 into 8/4/2 ohms respectively.I'm the original owner purchased the unit from Hanson A/V of Dayton,OH around Christmas of 2004(I have the original sales receipt somewhere! )since then it was in and out of system sparingly as my Bryston B-60 was primary amp. Sonically I-3 is powerful Amp with impressive blend of timing and refinement ,excellent sense of lively dynamics .Also very coherent time wise and can handle any type of music you throw at it and one of the only few Amps that can handle Rock music very well in which case it punches way above its price range.Works great with electrostatic/ribbon speakers because of its speed and very good high frequency linearity. I had great success with my Gershman Avantgarde's ,NHT ST-4's as both of them present loads below 3ohms in the lower midrange.Physically the Amp is in great condition all around except for that one minor nick on edge as shown in pics Remote is also in decent condition(see pics).I have the original box but the foam packing is missing.I'll carefully double box with extra foam for shape shipment .
