I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for!


A little while back I went on a pleasant drive to purchase a Wyred 4 Sound Class D (ST500) amp rated at 250 watts per channel. When I arrived, I immediately noticed he lived in a small but very nice home on a lake. Anyway he demonstrated that the amp worked fine and I then decided to purchase.
He pulled the amp out and we tried to fit it in its original carton but strangely it wouldn't fit properly. Got it home, plugged it in my second room, sounded pretty good but very powerful. Anyway I decided to try a different set of interconnects on it and that's when I noticed it was the more expensive ST 1000 ( 500 watts per channel), both amps looked identical from the front. But being honest, I call him back and told him you gave me the more expensive ST 1000. This is what he said, Paul I wouldn't of noticed for three months that this occurred and you could of easily kept it with no problems. But since you called me back the same day, we can now make arrangements to exchange it and we did. For a brief moment I thought I could of kept the more expensive amp if I kept my mouth shut but then I quickly realized I did the right thing.

Anyone else have any interesting stories to tell in regards to purchases?

Yes I had a person sell me a 1 month old Mcintosh, MC225. ONE MONTH. The guy bought the thing in 1968-9 something like that, then died, a month later, sick the whole time. The wife catches the kids messing with the thing, CUTS the end off the PC and throws it in a box and, lives for another 45 years, and passes on.

The kid selles me the amp for 100.00. I give him 500.00 plane and simple, I've been offered 3300.00 once 3000.00 a few times. All day long at 2500.00 Even the valves were still new... Not a scratch on it until the kid wiped it off, not thinking, very VERY minor surface dust scratch, they could buff out easy.

Right is right.
Oh I forgot, I have a pair of the 1000s not the R model. You still looking to buy a pair? I took them in on a trade. Never really listen to them.
Serious power though, dead quiet.. RCA, XLR, lot of goodies really.
Over 1000 watt rating, I think, look nice.

he is a prince

good ears too!
There was this one time when I sold this gentleman an amp and he called me and said I sold him the wrong amp, mistakenly having given him my ST1000 instead of the ST500 that I had for sale... nice to know there are still honest, ethical people.
