Will this amp reach $1000........

I was told that the big G5 series produced by ADSt during the DEI buyout had a higher than usual failure rate when run at 1 ohm mono. By higher than usual, I'm talking a 50% failure rate which prompted a production halt on the HCCA 250 and 275 g5. IIRC DEI was left holding the warranty bag for the ADSt screw ups on that last series of amplifier.

I even had a HCCA 225 G5 that was given to me after a friend blew it up and had it repaired under warranty and it was in a generic white box with a DEI return address when it was given to me. He just left it in his closet and called me a couple of years ago asking if I wanted it.

Edit - Forgot I have one of these too:

I've got a 250HCCAG5 that blew on me. Never ran hot, never pushed it hard. Blew the fuses one day and as soon as I replaced them, they blew again as soon as the amp powered on.

Those G4 and G5 amps have kinda started growing on me recently. For the longest time I thought they were hideous. I picked up a G4 250 the other day with 1 bad channel. Currently having it repaired. It's not in quite as good condition as the one above though. Couple of small scratches. Man, I would really like to see one of those G4 2100's. Were there ever any 2100r's made? That is my favorite heatsink design of all the HCCA's.

No, no 2100r.
