Pearl White Merrill Audio Thor mono blocks in great condition. Purchased new in Oct 2015. Have been used them sparingly, as I have very efficient speakers and mostly utilize low power SE tube amps. If you are looking at this ad, you know how musical they are, and the tremendous following they have. Includes everything that came with the amps from Merrill; power cords, owner's manual, balanced to RCA converters, soft storage bags and original packaging. Google for the many high end rave... reviews of these amps.

Not clean in the typical audio sense, which suggests that there is also sterility, and hence, lack of musicality. I'm talking about clean in the sense that there is no veiling, no artificially added euphony, no excess of anything. Just pure, beautiful music, with just enough natural sweetness to remain ultimately musical. Not synthetic sweetness that comes from saccharine, but from natural sugar, the good kind, in just the right amount.
