Hey guys,

Haven't been on for a while as I've been busy with work, but now that I have a bit of time I'm getting back into my gear.

Both in excellent condition, both black in colour, available for Western Sydney pickup or post at cost, and have been used to power B&W 703's and HTM1.

As I've been out of the loop for a little while I wanted to see what this gear was worth, I have some figures in mind, but I want to see what you guys think. Please feel free to ask anything about these units, and I will get some photos up tomorrow or the by the weekend.

Cheers,
James.

In to days environment I think it's more a case of  what you can get, not what it's worth.

There was a 1066 on audiogon a while ago and he struggled to get  $300 including shipping,
if in fact he did sell it
The 1075  are fetching something like $800 on e-bay.  Shipping can also be a problem,  as Australia Post

limit the weight to 20 kilo's and the 1075 is just over that.  Some PO will except them , some won't. I got one
via Aust Post.  It's a case of who you know, not what you know.

If they where mine I would be asking $1200 for the pair, plus freight.

But have you considered using them  for 2 channel and  By'amping your speakers

[Mannah]

Thanks for the reply Bassett, I have actually considered bi-amping, however I have heard varying things about that method. I was looking at starting fresh with mono blocks.

TBH I am open to offers if it means the unit moves sooner rather than later. It's not that I'm desperate to sell, but I have an idea I want to move on so I am keen. The pre/power is a great combination, however for HiFi the 703's seem to be a bit thirsty, for movies I have always loved the combination.

Hey guys,

Some photo's for your reference:







Will be putting up on eBay tomorrow too. Cheers guys.

[Mannah]

To put a figure on both of the units, I am after $1050.00 pickup (shipping at cost) sold as a pair together. Cheers.

[mrpotential]

Hi mate

Please tell me if you are willing to sell the amp separately ,as i bought a receiver recently,and it does not power my speakers with authority,and if you are how much would you accept.

I trie to pm you ,but it said you cant receive messagesl

[Mannah]

Hi MrPotential,

To be honest, I'd prefer to sell them as a combo together. They are a great sounding pair.

James.

Price drop to $1000 ONO.

Cheers guys.

Mate,,check 4 posts up..

[Chopsus]

Buy both then ebay the Pre-pro .... I think it is fair that the OP wants to sell them as a package as the Pre/Pro is likely an orphan if separated.

The Power Amp is worth more than the asking price for both IMHO anyway.
