Up for sale is a beautiful beast of an amplifier. A Parasound HCA-2003A 3 channel amp. this amp puts out 220 Watts into 8 ohms and a whopping 300 Watts into 4 ohms. Designed by famous amp designer John Curl and is a workhorse piece of equipment.

This is a good unit and in working order. That said it is older and it can do with a refresh I’m sure. Because of the age of the unit there are no promises made or given about the long term function of the amp. It is running the fronts on my Home Theater now pushing Gallo speakers. So I am sure it works. If it arrives and there is obvious damage to the packaging. Take pictures. I cannot accept a return without those pictures. Pictures of the damage to the amp and whatever functionality was lost. I love this piece. I’m moving though and I can’t take it with me. I have too much stuff. Check out the information below. See that you are getting an insane amp. It was 1700 new in 96. That is almost 4K in 24 dollars. You can’t buy a better amp for less than 3k new. Even today.
