The upgrade makes them equivalent to the ARC 250. 

"Amazingly sounding, powerful and sophisticated" this describe the best this pair of mono locks. They can drive the most demanding and power hungry speakers (YG Hailey in my case)! It delivers excellent quality with crystal clear signal,  majestic stage and uncolored sound. Hard to find anything close to this quality at that price point. 
I am selling because upgrading a few levels up.

A new set of KT 120 tubes is available for purchase.

  • 250 watts per channel continuous from 20Hz to 20kHz. 1kHz total harmonic distortion typically 0.5% at 210 watts, below .02% at 1 watt. Approximate actual power available at “clipping” 270 watts (1kHz). (Note that actual power output is dependent upon both line voltage and “condition” i.e.: if power line has high distortion, maximum power will be affected adversely, although from a listening standpoint this is not very critical.)

Questions for the seller
What is the vintage of this piece?

I am the second owner, so I am not sure, but based on my conversation with ARC tech, it looks like it was released just before the 250s came out in 2012 (it is the same design).
