You CAN"T be serious, Kroof.
This is exactly the wrong place to post this if actually selling them
is your goal. ebay, Audiogon, or a dealer like Tucker or Testequity
would be far superior and you know it.
AP System One is a poor choice for low volume test as opposed to the
same company's Portable One or ATS-1 or several other products from
other companies including SRS and NTI Neutrik. It is big, PC dependent
and awkward and is really for ATE setup rack testing or in depth
development of a fixed setup.
