ghost4man Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Item: PRICE DROP RELIST QUASIMODO INTEGRATED AMPLocation: GOSFORDPrice: $800 $750 $700 $680 onoItem Condition: VERY GOODReason for selling: FUNDING UPGRADEPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal + fee, COD, + shippingExtra Info: This is my beloved Quasimodo Integrated Amp. Richard McDonald described as a high gain power amp with volume control. In any event it functions as both. This was built in the last 12 months by the legendary Richard McDonald whose minimalist tagstrip design is really something to behold when you listen to the result that is achieved. These amps very rarely if ever come on to the for sale forums and its easy to see why once you own one. This is a regrettable sale but my path down the active route with my big Tympani 1Ds requires me to source amps which have unconditional stability into 2 ohm loads. This Quasimodo easily drove my maggies which normally presents a 4 ohm load. According to Richard this amp is conservatively rated at 40 wpc into 8 ohms and almost doubles down to 75 wpc into 4 ohms. This is an Australian made amp which punches well above its weight and believe me I have been in Bill McLeans shop and heard some pretty incredible gear. If I was not going down the active path this and the other amps I am selling would not be getting sold. Happy to audition this and the other amps driving a pair of Magnepan IIIAs which like other maggies regularly dip down below 2 ohms in transient states. I have taken photos outside to lay bear the condition of the amp. There is a light mark on the top panel in the bottom right hand corner which is negligible. PLEASE NOTE that this amp has been UPGRADED to the latest spec. This was done with the assistance and consultation of Richard McDonald himself.

flanders Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I can't believe this hasn't sold yet! Loving my (recently upgraded to latest spec) Quasi mini 20w. Realised again how 'right' it sounds (to me anyway), especially guitar, after seeing Bill Frisell at the Recital Centre last Friday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
