Offered for sale by original owner is the highly regarded Sanders Magtech amplifier in excellent condition. Two years and four months old.Used only in a dedicated room from a smoke, pet and child free home. Powered my Magnepan 3.7i speakers to their full glory with great finesse. Selling only due to a change in speakers. It is considered by many the best amplifier available for driving your electrostatic, planar ribbon or magnetic speakers with ease, high power, limitless headroom and high resolution. I owned this and an Ayre V-5xe at the same time for over a month. I felt the Magtech had all the warmth and tone of the Ayre while providing more transparency and detail, without sounding at all harsh, and it could play at louder levels without any compression or change in the character of the sound. All the reviews can be found in the information URL above, however this one http://www.stereotimes.com/amp051412.shtml describes some unique design elements of the Magtech amp that make it an excellent choice for all speakers requiring high power output. Specifically, the use of 1) a regulated power supply and 2) Thermal Trak transistors.

Local sale welcomed. No charge for PayPal at my asking price. The box and all packing are in excellent shape, 24" x 21" x 13". Local pickup gladly offered or I can meet in the Seattle / Tacoma area for a cash sale. I contacted Roger Sanders and asked if the lifetime warranty is transferable. He said "It only applies to the original owner. The equipment is built to the highest possible quality standards, so that we can offer a lifetime warranty. Therefore it is unlikely that future owners would have any trouble with it. But nothing is perfect. If a problem occurs, we will repair it at a reasonable and modest charge."
