FOR SALE: Great American Sound Grandson stereo power amp in good working condition. The Grandson delivers bang for the buck. Especially for under $200.The vintage classic GAS Grandson Stereo Power Amplifier was created by James Bongiorno, renowned amp designer at SAE. It is conservatively rated at 40 W/ch into 8 Ohms, 80 W/ch into 4 Ohms and 120 W/ch into a 2 Ohm load. The build is very solid with large power supply and heat sinks that can be seen in the pictures. Reviews attest to the great sound quality and ability to drive difficult loads. This is the model without meters. See extensive discussion of the Grandson online. Given its excellent design and build quality, the audiophile blogs have a lot of information about people adding refinements to further elevate its performance. Manual and schematic available online. See "grandson info" link above. CONDITION: Rating it as 7. See photos. While in nice condition for its age, the amp has light marks and a mar on the face-plate and one on the top that are visible in the pictures. I did not try to remove/cover the mars. The amp is in fully working order (and sounds great imho). The guy I bought it from noted "a subtle hum while the amp is on but no music is playing. The hum cannot be heard once the music begins." I did not hear any hum. You may. Please take this into account. SHIPPING: $35 to ship to lower 48. Free pickup in Chicago available. thanks for looking.
