No receiver is worth $2k IMO. I say that from having worked in and around this biz for many many years. That said, I paid $1200 for a near mint Acurus Act 3, which had been upgraded to Aragon Stage One status. I then paid $550 for a near mint Acurus 125x5. Then, you add a used Acurus A100, A80, or better for $100-200 used range or better, and you destroy all receivers on the plannet sonically, bar none!!!!
