U18286 Open Box SPE Expert 1.5K-FA Taurus Linear Solid State Automatic Amplifier 2 Year Warranty

U18286 Used SPE Expert 1.5K-FA Taurus Linear Solid State Automatic Amplifier

This unit is incredible through and through. There is not a scratch or nick on this unit to be seen, and it is pristine cosmetically. The screen is very nice and it still has the plastic attached to the screen. This amplifier is very clean and works super well. The screen is clear, the text is all intact, the buttons and controls are responsive, and the connections are firm. It has only been used lightly and it shows clearly. This unit is wired for 220V and is great all the way around. This amplifier comes with the carrying case, documents, and the extra parts which are still sealed. This unit is super nice and makes for a wonderful buy!

This amplifier was bought new Decemebr 2025. It would not work with the customer's antenna system. RF prone End Fed antennas are not your friend with these unless you are willing to go the extra step with high power baluns, feedline chokes and more. Running an endfed in a multiband situation is not ideal with the sensitive protection circuits in a Taurus. He traded right back in and got a 2K. This amp is essentially brand new

Comes with Expert's Standard 2 year Waranty
