Perreaux PMF5550 stereo amp. 500W per channel! New caps! $5,000 MSRP.

This is a truly powerful amplifier. Power delivery through the speakers was smooth with lots of extension on the highs and the bass.Each channel is capable of 500W in 8 ohms and have 12 MOSFETs lining up in each channel and a massive transformer that is a 6kW piece. It will easily rival Krell's FPB-600 for much less money. Absolutely dark backgrounds with a good depth and scale to whatever music is put through it. This particular unit just underwent a full service with new caps and resistors and tuned to original factory spec. This amp is now ready to provide many more years of service. Cost of the service alone is $1,100. Just take a look at the picture with the "guts" exposed. The design of the amp is a work of art. All handmade in New Zealand. Very few, if any, sub-$2,000 power amp can claim to be better engineered or better built than this PMF5550.

Cosmetically, the unit is in fair shape. Some scuff marks here and there and knicks along the edges and rack handles. But more importantly, the all new "guts" is where the heart of the music will draw its soulfullness. And for under $2,000 now, we can't think of a better alternative to enjoy that soulfullness and the power. This massive amp will be shipped strapped on to a pallet.
