Description: Make an offer! Here is a PAIR (2) of Marantz MA500 U Monoblock THX Power Amplifiers. These were both pulled from a working system 3 years ago when more powerful poweramps replaced them. I believe they were checked over or serviced late 2015. However, before listing them here on eBay I powered them up for a final test, and I found that "#2" seems to be working perfectly, and something is triggering the relay on "#1" whenever the volume gets to a certain level. Listening at quiet to moderate levels, both units sound fine with clear audio -- and they are playing at the same output level. When turning the volume up a bit, I can hear the relay in the #1 unit randomly toggling on and off (which cuts the audio going to the speaker). To be clear:The "#2" unit seems to be working perfectly. The "#1" unit turns on and plays audio, but the speaker relay randomly cuts in and out if you turn up the volume. I did some quick googling and it sounds like the relay cutting on and off is a common issue with these, and may be an easy fix? I don't have the time to troubleshoot and repair, so I am listing these as-is and describing exactly what I am hearing. Both units are clean and in great physical condition. I'd rather sell these as together and keep them as a matched set, but I would be willing to split this listing, so just let me know if you are interested and maybe we can work something out. ONLY 2 amps included -- no other accessories. Because these are vintage pieces of audio gear, I am selling as-is and as shown, and will not be accepting returns unless it is damaged in shipping and doesn't arrive in the condition described and that these pictures show. They will be packed well.(Shipping is expensive due to the weight of these things!)
