Rob181 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Item: Butler Audio - 5150 - 5 channel Power Amplifier Location: BrisbanePrice: $1590.00 ONO...PRICE REDUCED....Now $1490Item Condition: Rated 9/10Reason for selling: Partner moving in - excess Hi Fi must goPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Bank Transfer Extra Info: I have owned this 5 channel amp from new. Purchased direct from Butler Audio in the USA with a delivered cost of over $4200.00 & was shipped as a 230 V Amp. It has had very little use...less than 400 hours...in a smoke free pet free environment. For a 5 channel amp this is one that can be used for music as well as movies & its sound reproduction will best any 5 channel power amplifier at anywhere near this price. No surprise really given BJ Butler's background. Recommended as a genuine alternative for bi-amping. I have the original packing boxes, spare tubes & manual all in excellent condition so this can be shipped any in Aus at the buyers expense.

huxmut Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 interest spiked. i've never heard/listened to a butler. what would be a comparable amp, that i may of heard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob181 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 A rather tough question to answer when I do not know what you have listened to... Butler started off by making valve wow wow pedals for "name" guitarists...that is how he made his name. His amps reproduce a guitar better than any other Surround Sound amp...that tells you they have great midrange. I also have an Elektra here...in my opinion the Butler is better....I know others will disagree...Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huxmut Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sorry for lateness of reply, thanks. I guess i meant is it similar to another manufacturers 'house sound'. Your amp looks awesome. And sounds better than an elektra is brilliant. I guess i'm hesitant due to the uniqueness of this .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob181 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Both Surround Sound amps have left the building to spend time with another SNA'er who is looking for a quality surround sound amp. He is experiencing a stroke of good fortune & I am looking forward to hearing his opinion...Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
