HI...sorry...it's a 5 channel amp. 200*5 @ 8olms

Average used $880.

On Audiogon used blue book, the highest it was sold was $1140, the lowest was $730, the last one sold went for $1010, and Ricardo already posted the average.

Thanx alot guys...that helps out. Anyone have any experience with one of these? I was thinking about letting it handle the power and using my Arcam for just pre duty. I really am looking at improving my 2 channel but figured this would make an improvement over all. I wonder if just a 2 channel amp would be better bang for my buck. My budget is around $800-$1000.

All of your speakers will benefit so get it done in one shot.

I am quite sure that they will all benefit. Just would like to add an amp that is on par with the quality of my AVR.

I got the MCA 30 (225 wpc 3 channel) over a year ago.....it's built like a tank and performs very well. Solid, clear, neutral sound. They are a respected company for good reason. Highly recommended.
