Acurus A200five

Hello,

I am putting together a 5.1 home theater system and have an opportunity to pick up an Acurus 200five locally to me. The heat sinks are faded for some reason (not sure what would cause that) but other than that it looks and works good. They are asking $775 but will come down a little on the price. 
Is that a decent deal for the 200five?

Also considering a new Outlaw 5000x.

Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the reply & input.

This is not the newer Acurus amp, but they did make an older 200x5 channel amp called the 200five.

Here's a photo of it: Acurus 200five

And thanks for the link to the Outlaw review!

Thanks, kgturner.

I decided against the Acurus and went with the Outlaw.

Thanks for your input, Bill.

I’ve had Acurus amps in the past as well and agree they are solid performers. 

Based on my recent research of other Acurus amps that have sold this year, they all seem to be going for about 1/3 of their original msrp (give or take a little based on condition). 

So the 200five would be somewhere around $650 - $660. I offered the seller $600 due to unknown history and the faded heat sinks. So you and I are on the same page price-wise.

The seller, however, did not feel the same so I went with the Outlaw.
