I got this from the Magnepan forum - A liquidator of some sort is selling NIB Audiosource Tripath (200 wpc into 8 ohms and 325 wpc into 4 ohms) amps for $275 or best offer (I got mine for $225 - original list price is $699). They have ~40 available. These use the same Tripath chip found in the Sonic T-amp, Bel Canto Evo 200.2, Audio Research 150.2 and the Carver Pro ZR1000. In fact, they are pretty much identical to the Carver Pro ZR1000 - which retails for $1099.
Anyhoo, these are very rare as Audiosource only had a limited run of these amps due to RFI interference and the FCC regs. But PhoenixGold, who owns Audiosource and Carver, decided to rebrand it as the Carver Pro ZR series. I am awaiting delivery of mine, and will post my thoughts after burn in.
