I have an opportunity to pick up a sunn 200S amp head and matching 215 cab. They are in good-verygood shape cosmetically and functioning properly Just looking for opinions from people that may have used this amp set up and what a fair price for these would be.

Thanks

I'm no expert and I got mine at garage sale prices, less than $400 for the head and a 4x12 cab that really is a guitar cab. But I have seen the heads go from 400 to 600 and cabs about the same good condish more also if the cab is a 2x15 JBL d140 cab the speakers alone go for 200-250 in good working condition Soooo I would think the rig you are talking about w/ JBL's is easily worth $800. Now what you are willing to pay is up to you.
Just as a side note these used to come up every couple months here in Oregon (the home of Sunn) but in the last year or two I only see them every 6 mos or so. I do think they are getting harder to find.
I just did a quick check of evilbay and see people asking $800 for a comparable head that's crazy but I guess even $1000 for your rig wouldn't be completely nuts if you really want it.
