Hi Guys, Anyone for an integrated amp?  If I can get rid of one or two of these then I can get my hands on the next contestant.

Marantz KI Pearl Lite $800 with box, remote and manual.

Onkyo 9555 (silver)   $400 with box, remote and manual.  Probably should charge more for this one but the exterior build quality really lets it down.

Krell KAV300iL   $1200 with remote, no original box.

With the buyer to pay postage of course.

The Marantz and Onkyo were purchased new and only used for my amp comparison, between 100 and 200 hours of use, and can be considered to be in mint condition.  The Krell was bought over ebay third hand but is in fine cosmetic and functional condition for its age.

Anyone interested?

your location may improve your sale chances mate................

Ah, good point Yorac.  Bowen North Queensland, (I live in between the mango trees and the tomato bushes) although with the original boxes and packing the Marantz and Onkyo can be posted anywhere.  The Krell will be a little more difficult but I'm sure I can organise something.

Cheers!

Quite interested...in the Marantz.
Is it black or silver?
Any warranty? (Bought locally or overseas?).

And here are a few pictures of the items on offer. Marantz on the top, then Onkyo and Krell.

In answer to kiwimeat's question, I bought both the Marantz and Onkyo from Hongkong via ebay so no, no local warranty. I may still have the factory warranty cards though, I'll have to check.

Cheers!

And I posted that in the attachments thread.  D'oh!  Well here it is where it is meant to be.

[Cafad]

Well it looks like the Onkyo is gone, and I have had a couple of expressions of interest in the Marantz but no love for the Krell yet.  I know I didn't exactly talk it up in my review but it is still a pretty fair piece of kit, and with more power than most of us will ever need.

Hang on, it has only been up for sale for 2 days, sorry guys, I'll just go and look up the meaning of patience in the dictionary shall I?

Cheers!

[Cafad]

The Onkyo is sold, The Krell and Marantz are still available for sale.

Free Bump.......as I dropped out on the Marantz as I found my compact solution for SACD playback for my office.

If the Marantz had a HT bypass I would have been very interested for powering my fronts in the HT room.

Maybe look into it, I think you'll find it does have HT bypass.

[Cafad]

On integrateds isn't the "main in" feature tecnically a HT bypass?  If so then yes, it has a HT bypass function.  The Pearl Lite has both pre out and main in plugs.

[Cafad]

And the Marantz has been sold.  Just the Krell left to go.

[Cafad]

Price drop to $1000 on the Krell.

[Cafad]

And the Krell has sold.  Mods please delete this thread.
