Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
Holy Shit!!!! If I am gonna spend that much on a quad system, I'll be going separates and getting more features AND have coffee money left over. Even a Jim Showker restored 9001 is nowhere near that. Oh the insanity.
but it's museum quality!
For that much coin I could seriously consider some used Altec Voice of the Theater speakers and really make my neighbours take notice or hate me. Some things are more like pure greed and like throwing spaghetti or mashed potatoes at the wall just to see if it sticks.
ehh, make an offer; how much y'all think it should be?
Which to my mind means suitable for display purposes only. Which makes it worth $57.49 in reality.
Gadzooks!
There's 11 watchers & the seller has 100% satisfaction rating.
I bought mine recently from the QRX Restore. I paid about $2500. Yes, I think that's a lot. But I totally trust that they know what they're doing when it comes to restoration. And there's a warranty.
I'm one
I'm one of those watchers. I got to see if it ever sells for that amount.
Crazy prices! I used to drool over kit like this as a youngster reading the Hi-Fi magazines, now I have an SM2! 
What I miss though are lots of VU meters

I think I'll put my broken Sansui QSD-1000 up at a buy it now price of $10k.

If only you didn't have to buy speakers to go with it ☹ That'd probably blow the budget
I’m pretty sure this is the same unit that’s been for sale for between 8 & 10 years. If it is, it was being offered for 3K way back when even that number seemed ludicrously high, so my guess is that the seller continues to reject all reasonable offers, whilst re-raising the price periodically whenever he thinks someone might be biting too close.
You only have to look at the ever-escalating asking-for and selling-at figures for the 9090db, a decent 125WPC receiver that you could buy practically NOS still with it’s original box for like $400 to $500 just ten years ago!

Yeah @chucky3042 , when are we going to get an SM with real VU meters...big BLUE ones?Crazy prices! I used to drool over kit like this as a youngster reading the Hi-Fi magazines, now I have an SM2!

With many people being unemployed or under employed these days, I can't imagine the seller getting these crazy prices.
It is a request for highway robbery. I doubt anyone will consent.

Dave the Bitch is working on the super pre amp.........with VU meters (might be a screen one)
I can only imagine... 100 watt quartz halogen VU meters! At least no ships will run aground on the shores of
Hi-Fi.

SM 2 with real vu Meters would be great. I would definitely buy a third SM for that feature.
