Audio Research Reference 330M Monoblock Power Amps (3 available)

On consignment at Stereo Untypical are three (3) lightly used, top of the line monoblocks from Audio Research Corp. The Reference 330M runs 10 tubes, including 6 x KT170, with an output of 330 watts. It's the most ambitious amplifier ever made by ARC.

This amplifier made its debut at Munich 2024 and has been on the market just over a year. There is no online history of any used ones having been listed up to now. I'm selling them for the estate/family of the original owner. They retail for $63,000 in Canada. Asking price is $40,000 each (Canadian). There may be some negotiating room for a buyer who wants all three.

Two of the amps have a bit over 1250 hours. The third has around 1370 hours. They're all in excellent condition, basically mint.

We don't have the crates. Pick up in Guelph, Ontario. For a fee I can deliver the amps to a qualified buyer along the 401 corridor between Windsor and Montreal/Ottawa. U.S. buyers are welcome to pick up. I can't transport these across the border.

Serious inquiries only please.
