Maybe the Jadis has over $10k in parts, maybe, but definitely not the Berning.
(EDIT: I take back what I said, those Jadis amps are from 1997, they're worthless.)
I suggest the OP contact the sellers & see if they will let you audition the equipment. Buying them blind without being able to return them is beyond silly.
You might end up paying $80,000 for something that doesn’t sound any better than a $6,000 amplifier & you won’t be able to resell it for 1/8th of the price.
$80k is Dan D’Agostino & Boulder money, which at the very least look to have parts worth money.
