That is a super deal for this equipment. I bought the same setup new and have used the C-800 as a 2-channel preamp using the "Bypass" mode and it was quite good, in fact very good. You might wish to include that in your ad if you have had the same experience.
The 5.1 decoder unit is a bit of a dinosaur. Its sound quality was always compromised by the connector cable between it and the C-800. It is limited to Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 decoding, so not able to decode Dolby TrueHD nor DTS HD. It also had operational glitches IME.
The Chiro amps were solidly built with big toroidal transformers and good power regulation, making for an excellent HT amplifier.
Chiro equipment was designed by Tony DeChiro of Kinergistic Research fame, known for producing excellent amplifiers and subwoofers in that era.
Best of luck with the sale. Some lucky buyer will be getting a great deal.
