Mike
makes nice stuff, and he tries not to be outlandish in his prices.
I owned the MX 190 and loved it!!!
Very simple designs with good quality parts, seems like a good recipe!

The name Quicksilver brings back some good memories. I got into audio around the time that Quicksilver started and I was familiar with the name. Nearly bought some of his gear as I recall. Good that he's still around. As to a remote, I can't live without one....

Just a "heads up" Rollo.

Good to see reasonably priced gear made in the USA


I have mike sanders 300B monoblocks. They must be at least 20 years old.

I emailed Mike about a tune up after all these years. His reply was to leave it alone unless there was something wrong with it. :thumb:
His designs have always been very reliable

Cool, thanks. If your looking look at the Microzotl Amp from David Berning for $750.

If it sounds anything like my Quicksilver Mid-Monos it will be a nice sounding piece.  And I have to say that they play way louder than one would think for the 40 watts they are rated at.

The amps are a great bang for the buck and given that this is the same power output and includes a preamp section with a phono stage, I would dare say that this looks like it is as well.
