cyberkank Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Item: Audiocontrol Maestro M3 AV Processor + Logitech Ultimate remote Location: Adelaide Price: $400 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup ONLY - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Disclaimer: Long story, the unit had an issue with the power supply, but that has been fixed by Audiocontrol authorized repairer in Adelaide. The repair costed me nearly $200. It was sold in March 2019 but the buyer had some occasional hissing noise with the unit when using one of the HDMI input, so I've given him a refund for the purchase. Then the unit went back to the repairer (as part of the repair warranty) and the repairer said it may have been a loose power connection or it could be the HDMI ports/switch is faulty. So he tidy a few things up in the unit. It has been in storage since it was returned from the repair. I was initially intending of using it as DAC/Preamp for my 2nd stereo system (as it seems the initial problem only occurs with HDMI) but it seems like the 2nd system may never eventuate. So decide to sell it cheap as my wife is not happy with too many hifi stuffs in storage. NOTE: Unit is sold as is, as I haven't got time to hook everything up and testing it throughly. It sounded superb for music and movie when I was using it in my main system. For music it was much better than my current processor Marantz 8805. The remote itself is already $300 so the buyer is getting it very cheap. AudioControl Maestro M3 Surround Processor (Same as ARCAM FMJ AV888 which priced at RRP $10,000) This is a true high end surround sound processor, as the current Audiocontrol model is RRP $15,000.

MickJones Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Hi There I have been pondering a return to Home Theater but until now had not considered a separate processor and multi channel power amp combo This looks to be quiet a bargain and I would be happy to take it on and give it a home if it is still available PM me and I will take it off your hands. Cheers
