Carver M 1.5t


Just saw a this unit on my local Craigs.  Add says it was recapped 10 years ago.  Is this unit worth asking price of $500.  I was just going to run it with a Sonos source and some polk audio speakers in my garage/shop.

The M1.5 @ $500 in is the ballpark of what hifi shark says they have sold for...BUT....why buy a potential problem (10 years old) when you can spend less and get a brand new amplifier that will sound as good and probably better, easy resale if you ever want to resell, tons of power with L/R gain controls that will allow balance.

Yeah had an old PS Audio P200 running the garage system.  Great amp but it buzzed loudly and finally died.  Totally reluctant to dump $ on old gear when there is so much new stuff.
