This listing is for a vintage BGW Model 250 Stereo/Mono Power Amplifier - a highly regarded Class AB amplifier known for its robust build and clean power. 85W x 2 channels. There are some scratches from use and age but it is in working condition. Selling as-is based on the fact that this unit is over 50 years old! All sales are final.
I also have a BGW Model 250-B Power Amplifier for sale! It delivers 100W x 2 channels and would pair well with the Model 250!
KEY FEATURES:
* Class AB operation: For a balance of efficiency and audio fidelity.
* Robust build: Known for their durability and "pro audio" reliability.
* Full complementary output stage: Featuring multiple high-wattage transistors per channel.
* Magnetic circuit breaker protection.
* Error-sensing op-amp input stage and heat sink mounted bias circuit for stable and precise performance.
