BAT VK-500 Dual mono amp

For sale is one incredible BAT (Balanced Audio Technologies) VK-500 amp. This is a dual mono amp so what you are getting is two amps in a single chassis. This amp was a breakthrough in design by Victor Khomenko in that his design uses only N type transistors. There are only two gain stages. I am a lover of tube amps but this solid state unit is the closest to having a tube like sound with all the benefits of solid state that I have ever heard. I will regret when it sells but I have too many things in the house, and after much deliberation, I am going with a pair of tubed monoblock amps. The choice was not easy and if I could I would keep it as well as the BAT VK-3i preamp I used with this (see other ad). This amp also has the "Bat Pak" option. 
I could go on about how great this is but there are several excellent reviews online about this amp. I believe this is the only one for sale on the internet right now and with good reason; these are excellent amp, and can power any speaker you can through at it.   
This amp is a monster as it weighs in at over 100 pounds. I have rated it a "7" just to be safe but it is more like an "8". Because of the weight, a local pick-up is what I am looking at right now. If you are in the Seattle - Portland area I am willing to drive a good distance to help facilitate delivery.  I plan to have a crate built that will be strong enough to handle the amp but light enough so as to help keep weight down. As such I can ship via FedEx Ground on anything under 149 pounds....
Please feel free to ask any questions. The price is pretty reasonable considering what this amp would cost nowadays. Remember that you are getting 250 wpc into 8 ohms and over 450 into 4 ohms. I have relatively easy speakers to drive so I never heard this amp break into a sweat. I wish I had this amp when I owned my Apogee Stages!
Check my feedback and buy with confidence. Thanks for looking!
