PATHOS CLASSIC ONE MK2 Integrated (w/remote):
PRICE SLASHED !!!PRICE SLASHED !!!PRICE SLASHED !!!
PRICE SLASHED !!!PRICE SLASHED !!!PRICE SLASHED !!!
Works PERFECT(except bal. inputs)….and sounds GLORIOUS !....(and always has…..exceptionally RELIABLE)
STEREOPHILE Class “A” rated unit.
Tube preamp, with transistor amp section. (This is a magic combo !)
This ran my 5’ tall TYLER Linbrook speakers with ease. Also sounded great with my Gallo Reference 3.1 floor standing speakers. Ran THEM well also.
SPECS:
o Type: Integrated amplifier with remote in Class A/AB, hybrid circuit with input tube stage, bridgeable
o Output Power: 2 x 70W @ 8 Ohm, 2 x 130W @ 4 Ohm, 270W in bridged mode (mono)
o Inputs: 5 line, including one balanced (XLR) Frequency response: 2Hz ÷ 100kHz
Ballsey. Seems like a 110 watt amp, likely the large CAPS help)
From a review:
“Even as the heart of a $100,000 system, the Classic One did an excellent job. I also made it a point to compare it to a couple of my other favorite amplifiers in the three to ten thousand dollar range to see how it stacked up against its peers. Needless to say, I came away very impressed. Should you live with the Classic One for a while and decide you have to have more power, the Classic One can be bridged and used in mono mode, giving you a pair of very compact 150-watt amplifiers.”
“Conclusion
Overall the Pathos is one of those rare components that achieves a perfect balance of performance, style and value. Thanks to the small tube compliment, you will not have to worry about sourcing tubes, either. The 6922 and it’s variants are very plentiful at reasonable cost, and I don’t imagine the Classic One going through tubes in a hurry, so probably a new pair every five years or so should keep you running along just fine.
Whether you are a mega audiophile putting together a second system, or a music lover that doesn’t want to sacrifice aesthetics for performance, this amplifier will keep both sides of your brain very happy.”
Buy from a seller of more than 14 years, with a PERFECT rating, with over 170 transactions !
Rated a "5".... I rate VERY conservatively (see pics !)....Most would rate this higher.
What’s included:
Pathos CLASSIC ONE MK2 Integrated
Pathos remote control
stock Sovtek tubes (regardless of what is shown in pics)

CAVEATS:
Balanced Input does not work well (probably just needs new connectors, but don't hold me to that)
Unit has some corrosion (balanced inputs, transformer cover especially)
No original box, but will be VERY well packed for safe shipping
PAYPAL & Credit Cards!!!! (paypal/credit card fees (less than paypal) fees, if any, are buyer's responsibility ), BUT will accept personal check from TOP rated Audiogoners, with great feedback (at my discretion)
PLEASE NOTE:
Audiogon’s shipping estimator is usually low. At my discretion, I only charge actual costs, and may ask for the extra.
