is it worth it? considering that living somewhere in Asia, this unit is more rare here than it is for those who live in the US. I kinda have to decide fast. thanks in advance!
thanks, of course, I'll try to haggle over the price. this is the pic from his ad, judging by the pic, at least the cabinet seems to be in decent shape. he claims it's been barely used.
Cabinet is not McIntosh. Too difficult to determine the condition otherwise and of course have no idea when the unit was last serviced. That would be my main concern.

thanks for bringing that up, if the cabinet is replaced, I guess it probably means the original cabinet had been damaged and it certainly isn't a good sign considering the price he's asking.
Not every 1900 came with a cabinet. And many Asian countries would just get the units from the USA, since local cabinets are very good quality, often times exotic woods, and almost always cheaper to build local than to buy.

at the moment? None!
I'm not obsessed about 1900's in particular, I saw the ad andI thought it was a good opportunity to own one since it's a highly praised receiver as far as I know.
I guess the scarcity favtor is the main reason this unit is priced on the higher side and that's also why there is not much room for haggling over the price.
