are Quad 303 amps worth buying?

I have been offered a pair of these. How do they sound and what is a reasonable price for these amps?

They are not worth much I paid about $250 for mine and that was a late model with original box and in perfect working order.

So you do not get some of the crisp detail that these newer designs give you. To me it has a nice full sound with no shrill and nice bass. I would say that it is a bit like a Dynaco ST-70 a rounded off at the extremes but a musical amp an it can take a very ugly load.
