brash is an unknown quantity at this point

$300 is on the high end for an Ebay'd Tantrum. They generally seem to end under $300, judging by the completed auctions.

And in case anyone else is interested, there are two other Tantrum 1200.1s on Ebay at the moment. And there seem to be at least a couple at any time...

quality is still very good

I actually just bought a Tantrum 1200.1 that I have to go pick up.

The catch? I have to drive across the border because I don't want it to get stuck in customs and I am too sick and will be too sick for a while to go and get it

This thread reminds me of an auction i saw a few days ago that was full of false truths amd exagerations. Just for kicks, here it is:

what a lame guy with 5 feedback. I never deal with those guys. Just too risky for that much money.

Phoenix Gold is still very high quality.. Just as an example, the heat sinks inside a Phoenix Gold amp are about twice the size of the heat sinks inside a Rockford amp.. One of my electronics teachers in college used to work for PG and he showed us the size difference and it was just an day/night difference between the thermal exhaust. it's just you haven't heard much about PG lately just because they spend so much money on their products.. I remember my teacher saying that PG spent about $200 to make each amp because the parts they used were so expensive whereas Rockford only spends about $100 or so per amp if I remember correctly..
