i might be able to buy an altec 9444 poweramp.
does anyone know if its a safe amp.
i getting rid of my bose 1801 because of the DC offset. , i just cant relax with this monster that could go bad.
i would realy like to own a altec lansing amp so i want it realy bad.
its up to you forum members to talk me in or out of it.;)
any pictures would be helpfull. so i can see if there jack input or xlr
how many inputs, can it handle banana plugs (sorry for the bad translation:D)

asking price is 300 euro. thats about 360 dollar.
i dont know what it will look like

Here is a link is for a company selling used A and B version of the 9444
No affiliation to the company. etc. etc. They showed up on a Google search for the amp.
You requested picts of the amp.
They have some great picts on the page for you to look at.
