One thing to consider, with 800 hours on the tubes, its going to cost a few grand to retube the units if you buy them from ARC. I think why they have been sitting for so long is huge the price to retube them when it is needed. It is a BIG expense. I hope you live in Alaska or Siberia as those amps will probably keep your house hot year round.
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
I Saw a pair of pre-owned tube monoblocs for sale on an onlline forum for around $17k.
The seller has a retail store for hiigh end audio. The seller mentioned that there will be an up-front fee for the demo if a prospect comes to the store the amps are not purchased. The demo fee may also be used for credit towards any purchase in the store.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this. Is this now a common occurance in high end audio stores? I sent a note to the seller asking what the demo fee amount was....two weeks and I didn’t get a response.
Does anyone know what amount of fees are charged for a demo?
