My friend and audio mentor had the very first premier one power amp ever made..Serial number 0001.He was going to sell it to me back in 1989 for 1200 dollars but I didn't want it so we ended up selling it to a Canadian truck driver for 2200 dollars..The amp lacked definition at lower levels but when you cranked it up it was quite a bit better..
Being it's a high powered well made and rare amp,I would try to get 3k and see if you get any bites.

That was the case with the MV-75a as well. I borrowed a friend's and compared it with my Stasis. I was disappointed with its low level resolution.

That was the exact same scenario with us.We used the CJ premier 2 Preamp which is fabulous,but the Perreaux 5150 and the Threshold S/500 just walked the old Premier one.Here was the clincher tho.My stock Dynaco MK3s which were not rebuilt are what convinced me that I didn't want to buy the amp.They were quite good on the Beveridge model 3s.

Hi Mike,
You not giving me much motivation to drop $3K. From you description, I suspect my $50 Threshold CAS-1 would walk all over it too! From the posts, it was modified, so hopefully it sounds a bit better.
Have you heard an MV45 or its later incarnations?
Dave
