The amp looks really clean and that was a good price IMHO (Total $1720). That's basically what I paid for mine in 2015.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.Thanks for the lead, though!
I've been thinking of picking up a V6 for a while, and that one is the cleanest I have seen. The same seller has a V-Type in similar condition for sale.
Honestly, I can't believe you waited this long. Look forward to your NAD thread.
I would do the same thing if a V4 MkII popped up at an attractive price...and I already own a V8

I'm in the same boat. We should work together on a shared parenting plan for a V4 MkII.
Saw that.Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Glad you picked it up Tom. That will go nicely in your collection. Kinda surprised you didn't have one yet.
I woulda grabbed it if I didn't already have one.

Agreed. I was hoping someone here would snag it.
I think I paid $1300 or so for my first one in 2001. NOS from BAS.
Got my most recent one for $1550 shipped here a year or so ago. Worth every penny.

I will admit that part of my reasoning for not having a V6 yet was that I already had a V8. But y'all have won me over to desiring a V6!
Definitely interested in your impressions. So far my all time fave.I will admit that part of my reasoning for not having a V6 yet was that I already had a V8. But y'all have won me over to desiring a V6!

I am confident you will find that the V6 has a very different personality than the V8.

I break out the V6 and the NV610 rig when I want to crush some skulls.
That is exactly the cab I was thinking of pairing it with, out of the gate.
Same seller has a nice clean example.

This one is a bit overpriced imo

But it includes the cabs which probably makes it fair.
Don't known if he will split up and ship the head, but worth asking. It's been listed for 2 years.

I have a carpeted V-Type if that's of any interest if you fancy a trip to whisky land...
