$375 Parasound HCA-855a brand new in factory sealed box.
$35 S&H (very heavy)
I'll inlcude a copy of my receipt so you will have a valid 10 year warranty through Parasound.
Instead of buying a higher priced receiver, I bought a less expensive receiver w/pre-outs added this amp and voila! Unbeatable sound at an unbeatable price.

I'm sorry but I don't know whether it's bridgeable or not. You might want to shoot an email to Parsound tech support at: [email protected]
They've been helpful to me in the past.
I was keeping it until I moved next month but I'm selling it because I changed my mind on bi-amping my front's and center and adding two more surrounds. My current 855a gives me more volume than I know what to do with so I figured that another one would be overkill, especially since my Klipsch are already so sensitive.

Thanks Frank,

I shot them an e-mail....it'll probably be a few days before I get an answer.

I'm considering adding either 2 rears or 2 sides for 7.1 and need another amp. I may even consider not bridging it at all and using a couple of the channels for another zone. I may be back in touch with you on this.

The amp is still for sale. Someone from the forum at Klipsch.com said they were sending a money order but I never received it or heard from him again.

If you want it, you got it.
