Marantz mono block amps, price?

[TitaniumTroy]

I would to purchase a pair of these to run my surround speakers, but not sure what the current price is for the 75 watt model and this 130watt version. Currently they are run by a NAD 218 THX amp, which is overkill in size and power for my purposes.

Note to self: whenever I sell something on eBay, do not use a packing blanket as a photo backdrop. :scared-eek:

Seriously though, I don't know what they are worth but I think there's an audio bluebook somewhere on the web. Sorry I don't know anything more specific.

Do an advanced search on eBay and selected the "Completed listing" checkbox. This will show you what they have sold for recently.

I'd look in to the Parasound Z Amps for surrounds.

sh, those pics are decent compared to many listings on ebay. Yes, most are rally bad. Good image is one of the tricks to getting a good selling price but a lot of sellers on ebay either don't care or think their pictures are good. :roll:

The Marantz MA500 had a msrp of $300 new.

I have one I use for my center channel that I picked up about a couple years ago.
I can't remember exactly what I paid for it, but it was somewhere around $150

(works fine for my needs)

B, you mean an amp like this one? Mmmm, I am thinking about it, looks good, how about the price?

There is a pair on the Klipsch forum "Garage Sale" section for $120 each.
