Exile Audio X5

Dimensions: 30" x 11.2" x 2.7"

Weight: 35 lbs

100 unit limited production amplifier.

Item(s) Description/Condition:

Needs repair. Local repair tech said needs a input circuit, and power supply.

Sold

Only trades I'd be interested in are an active deck, maybe a 15" woofer.

I can have the amp repaired with your money, but I'd want $600 up front. Then you'd have to wait on the repair process.(It would be a lot cheaper to have it repaired yourself)

Of course. I think it benched at over 5k.

There is no noticeable damage. Not that I can see.

IIRC MSRP on this bad boy was $2500. Looking for a quick sale.

It has a few nicks here and there, nothing major. I have no idea where they were built. Phoenix Gold engineer Morgan West designed it (West and another ex-PG employee started Exile). Just like in old PG fashion they made a limited edition amp. West is back with PG now where they have

the only reason i ask is the only shop i trust will not work on a chinese built amp. usually on the bottom plate it says where the amp was made.

Only what you can see from the pic. I have no idea how to take it apart, you can pretty much see the whole board through the top. The local tech said the only thing wrong with it is an input circuit and power supply.
