I once owned the B&K ST140. Purchased in 1985. Around 2010 before B&K went out of business I call then about a check up and possible refurbish. They said that it would need new output boards as the trannys were no longer available. I truly like that amp, thought it to be one of the best amplifiers available under $1000 at that time. I was able to purchase it with a B&K Pro10 MC preamp from a dealer friend of mine for $850. I later heard the EX442 which had greater power in his store, also great at it's price. I believe it to be the fore runner to the EX4420.
@mendef All that said, I believe I would look for a used amplifier of more recent vintage.
