I think new, it is now over $10000. I actually prefer the similar power output Ayon Spark I use now. Different tubes and half the price, but I prefer it's sound.

Pre-in so can be used as a power amp. Very ballsy, sounds like 200 watts, not 20wpc. Can be used with real world speakers of 87db and above.

I haven't heard it personally, but do own the AN211 which is their 211 SET integrated. LM Audio is supposed to make really nice stuff and has two 845 integrates which also may be worthy of an audition.
