I've been watching eBay and Craig's list for many years, and I bought the only only ones I ever saw. I see the little 800 and 860 "shoebox" SMPS / MOSFET amps with 1/4" inputs all the time, and the smaller MOSFET home amps, some mosfet amps with conventional power supplies, but rarely their big brothers with double the MOSFET devices, PWM SMPS and the balanced inputs, like the PR1800 or nearly identical 900X2. If I found a 1600 I'd strap it to the front end of one of my PR1800's. But no luck. They were not popular, and came out too late, just before MTX bought the company I guess.

I'm willing to trade another better amp I have, so that I can have matched amps.
What model are you offering for trade?
How about a great-sounding Monster MPA-3250. Sounds really great, but the front display doesn't work; power transformers once shifted in shipping and scratched the PCB. It's 3 channels, balanced and unbalanced inputs. This is a Richard Marsh FET design with fancy caps etc., a real audiophile-grade amp.
Now I have an even 10, if my most recent overpriced eBay purchase actually operates or is repairable. That's 15,000 watts. Well, it would be if the speaker impedances were optimized. But it's more like 6,000 the way I actually operate them. But if you run across more, please let me know.
