SOLD
Before I try and figure out Shipping these monsters, I thought I would throw them up for local pickup. (Mobile, AL)
I am currently cleaning out my closet prior to yet another move/downsize prior to retirement. Keeping my commercial equipment, shedding the DIY. Starting with the heavier stuff.
Amps - $500 with pickup
Speakers $1000 with pickup (I will get the shipping boxes out of storage as well)

If you’re willing to ship to Montreal, Canada, I’ll grab the amp mono-blocs, unless shipping is very expensive.

This seems like an incredible deal for someone…almost too good to be true. For a minute , I actually considered jumping in the van and making the 14 hour drive. Curious to know how this works out for the buyer.
This has been an exciting, and fascinating, hobby for me for many years now. I have enjoyed almost every minute of it. (some projects did not turn out so well)
Time for me to move on. DIY projects are not great money makers, and I just hope to move these on to people who would enjoy the gear, not to fund my retirement. Our next downsize will be a move across the country to be near our daughter, whose first baby is due this fall. I hope to retire next year, depending on several factors. So, limited tubes, and compact system.

That is awesome! Congratulations!! Although the amp is a great deal, I think you are getting an even better deal 😉near our daughter, whose first baby is due this fall.
Shipping amps like that ought to be about 120 bucks each... Coast to Coast.
Although DIY may seem like a money losing proposition in reality it isn't. You are getting very high quality sound at a steep discount ( Thanks NP, ZM, etc... ).
Congratulations on your grand-kid. Boy or Girl?

Thanks for the shipping estimate. Then add boxing, and padding. I dont imagine I can just put in some foam peanuts, and call it a day. But then, I realize that Mobile is the crossroads of the world.
I have 2 granddaughters by my son, but they live near the wife’s mother. Our daughter is expecting a girl also. My wife is intent on this one, and we are both about ready to retire. I’m hoping to have the finances set by the end of next year.

I shipped two mono blocks recently. Aleph 2 monoblocks in the 5u case. It took me about 3-4 hours to package them, get estimates and send them out. Each shipment was $180 insured.
I buy the garage door insulation kits which are around $20 each. That or 3/4" foam board.
The trick with shipping is to put a block of something between the transformer and the lid. The transformer has the potential to bend the plate with all of the holes in it.
Make sure you use a double corrugated box for your insurance. I think the Home Depot and Lowe's moving boxes in the heavy-duty versions are double-corrugated.

What an incredible deal.
I hope some member can pick these up the amps and speakers and save Bones13 the hassle of shipping.

For $1500, someone could have a fantastic amplifier / speaker pairing, IMO.

Looks like we have a winner for the M2x monos and the speakers. He is getting his plans in order.
Thanks for the interest all, I will repost if this transaction does not happen.
