I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for!


A little while back I went on a pleasant drive to purchase a Wyred 4 Sound Class D (ST500) amp rated at 250 watts per channel. When I arrived, I immediately noticed he lived in a small but very nice home on a lake. Anyway he demonstrated that the amp worked fine and I then decided to purchase.
He pulled the amp out and we tried to fit it in its original carton but strangely it wouldn't fit properly. Got it home, plugged it in my second room, sounded pretty good but very powerful. Anyway I decided to try a different set of interconnects on it and that's when I noticed it was the more expensive ST 1000 ( 500 watts per channel), both amps looked identical from the front. But being honest, I call him back and told him you gave me the more expensive ST 1000. This is what he said, Paul I wouldn't of noticed for three months that this occurred and you could of easily kept it with no problems. But since you called me back the same day, we can now make arrangements to exchange it and we did. For a brief moment I thought I could of kept the more expensive amp if I kept my mouth shut but then I quickly realized I did the right thing.

Anyone else have any interesting stories to tell in regards to purchases?

There was this one time when I sold this gentleman an amp and he called me and said I sold him the wrong amp, mistakenly having given him my ST1000 instead of the ST500 that I had for sale... nice to know there are still honest, ethical people.
Absolutely did the right thing.
karma would have got back at you.
Bet you’re just as happy, even more so inside. Priceless.

oldhvymec, how much are you asking for them? Just curious.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm thinking 1600.00 and some shipping. I'd break even. They have set for 2 years. I turned them on, 3 months or so ago, warmed them for a day, and played them for a day. YUP they have a few watts to play with.
DARK background, ZERO floor noise, xlr or RCA.. Pretty impressive pushing 93% round speakers, above 115 db.  You have pretty good dampening with 4 12" actives and two passives, That is a lot of mass to control, the overshoot on.. They do it with ease..

I'm using Nords, and Carys, in the monitor position. Kind of a waste tho having them just set. I have 10-12 pieces, I'm getting ready to lose.
Time to thin the herd a bit. Mac gear, older Marantz.
Thoren, Garrard, 47 lb, unfinished platter, project, motor, and a few parts, 6-8 Russco, Sparta, rim drive, BC TTs. STILL leave me with TO much stuff..Geezz..

A/AB ONLY for me!
demoed, in store and at home, with my speakers and the store speakers.
 Didn’t do much for me.

if I had a pair of M&K massive subs, I would stick with class D for the oomph.

 For full range speakers, always A or A/B.  They just sound better to me.
