Revamping my entire set up to home theater. Huge price drop.  
This particular unit has about $3,500 in upgrades that are not in a stock unit, the same amp as used at NY Audio Show 2015. Kronzilla VA680i Stereo Integrated Amplifier with upgrades: - ECO mode - run as solid state only amp with no tubes - Upgraded Furutech input and output connectors With this unit, you are essentially getting two amps in one. A solid state amp and a tube amp. You can keep the amp on solid state mode when doing work and switch to tube for critical listening. - Upgraded custom paint (Honey Gold) - Quieter operation: upgraded transformer and quiet fan - Upgraded Furutech connectors Inputs: 1x XLR, 3x RCA - Pre-out 1x RCA (for subwoofer) Stereo tube amplifier. 60 + 60 Watts RMS Description single-ended tube amplifier - pure class A, zero feedback Output Tubes 2x T1610 (Kronzilla) Output Power 2x 60W RMS (THD = 3%) Bandwidth 20Hz - 20kHz (-3dB) Output Impedance 4 / 8 Ohm Input 1V RMS / 47 kOhms at 60W Dimensions - w x h x d 15.0 x 16.5 x 21.5 inches Weight Approx 110 Lbs KR VA680i is perhaps the best example of what KR Audio does. It is an amp that lets you really enjoy music. VA680i provides holographic image with realistic images and draws you into musical event. There is plenty of power to drive most speakers with authority. "Held der Arbeit" by Johannes Maier awarded BEST in Germany with 140 points over Macintosh, Krell, D'agostino, Octave, T+A etc. pgs. 144-147 Johannes Maier of AUDIO wrote (Dec. 2013): "...the Kronzilla VA680 is crystal-clear and offers the finest resolution imaginable. It is magnificent and powerful with a well-formed bass. All these qualities combine to produce a live character that transports the listener right into the concert hall... the Kronzilla comes from another world, compared to the amps that rely on their reputation rather than their sound...the Kronzilla needs the cheering just about as much as a Stradivarius does..." Please note that I used VA-680i instead of the VA 680E as designated by KR on the actual amp. I did this to assist the viewer to access Audiogon info more conveniently as no "E" exists in the Audiogon system. That said, this integrated amp was custom manufactured for Care Audio in NJ in 2014. It was built to Care Audio's requested customized specs. The owner of Care Audio even traveled to KR's plant in Prague to personally contract the amp's production. There is a pair of pre-out RCAs which can drive a sub(s) and be controlled by the amp's volume control. The palm-size, clutter-free remote is solid and a joy to use, including remote volume control. I've rated the unit 9/10, as there is one 1/4" hair thin imperfection on the rear black transformer cover. I tried unsuccessfully to capture it in a photo. Speaker impedance can be easily adjusted behind a small rear removable cover. The amp utilizes the amazing, KR built T-1610 Kronzilla Tubes! The tubes have an estimated life of 10,000 hours, and there are approximately 526 hours on the tubes [increased by 1 hour since I was last selling the unite a few months ago]. KR states that not a single tube has failed in the 10+ years they been building and utilizing these particular tubes, which stands as testament to the tube's design and quality of construction. If you think about it, it would be foolish for KR to boast an outright lie that would catch up to them eventually in marketing, etc. I'm happy to audition the amp or ship free of charge (at my asking price) within CONUS. I reserve the right to scrutinize buyers' ratings, as I do not plan on shipping the amp for it to be auditioned and returned. It is guaranteed to be shipped fully insured and to be received in perfect working condition. SN is #1015.The T-1610 tubes will be shipped separately. Amp ships in its original wooden crate (in solid condition), palatalized for added protection.
