I remember hearing that amp when it came out, some special anniversary, limited edition, spare no expense model, i think it sold for almost $20k. That was when i first realized how far i was away from hi-end audio, i walked in with just about $5000 cash and thought i was a high roller. Ended up spending $3600 on an entire mcintosh car audio system, used it for about 5 years and got a little more than $3000 back selling it. My only new audio buy that i was satisfied with.
I digress, beautiful piece, hope it sounds as good as it looks.
