This ad is for 1 Melody Platinum
211 Class A integrated amplifier. This is the best sounding 211 amplifier I
have ever owned. I have over 100 different amplifier through my place and the majority
were tube based. I have also had many Melody products through my place and the
Platinum 211 is my favorite. There is absolute stunning control on the bottom
end for 16 WPS. The top end has a very open and detailed resolution. The
midrange is exact what you would expect from a 211 amplifier. The best way to
describe this integrated is; it just gets out of the way and allows you to hear
the emotion of the artist. At almost 100 lbs, this integrated is built like a
tank. Comes with all original packaging and will be triple boxes on a pallet
when shipped. It is in mint condition but I will rate it at a 9/10 just to be
safe. I am super careful when I ship but I will not be responsible for any
broken tubes during shipping. With import fees and shipping fees, this integrated was slightly over $10000.00 US funds.

Now, I have
to tell you, at 88 pounds, moving this amplifier is no laughing matter.
Singularly setting up the Melody AN211 in my listening room high in the San
Gabriel Mountains of Southern California, I had to exert some serious physical
strength. But from the moment the needle hit the record of Tracy Chapman’s self
title album, I knew, if I had to, I would have carried this amp by hand all
5,597 feet up the mountain to get it home. The AN211 turned the guitar speaker
harshness of the Zu Omen Def speakers into liquid gold. Chapman’s voice came
forth full of depth and power with a smooth lush texture, and filled my ears
with ecstasy. Strokes on her guitar made the air shimmer. The powerful bass
opening of Talkin’ Bout a Revolution, typically overbearing and almost out of
control, was now a restrained beast, chained down only because it hadn’t yet
decided on when to break forth and destroy all who oppose it. The
three-dimensional and textured rich sound that suddenly burst from these
massive boxy speakers with which I’d had so much trouble, stunned me, and I sat
in awe of the AN211’s magical glow.
At the right
volume it was pretty dang close to live. But what really knocked me out was the
duo of Ozzie Baily’s voice and Ray Nance’s violin on “Autumn Leaves” from
Ellington Indigos. The life, emotion, balance and tone the AN211 brought to
this song was something I’ve not heard recreated on a system costing anything
close to this.
