Be careful buying Counterpoint product, as reliability was always the issue with that line. Both myself, my brother and another friend of his, all had various Counterpoint preamps and amps, and we all had trouble of one kind or another.
That being said, we all really enjoyed the sound that Counterpoint put out. It was very musical and you got a lot of bang for the buck with Counterpoint. (I think that their components might have used a cheaper grade of components in their construction, but their design was top notch.)
My two cents worth anyway. Good Luck!
