I'd like to sell my Involve SurrroundMaster if someone has an interest in buying. It's one of the original ones that has the SQ function.

Reason for selling is simple: I don't use it. All my surround needs are handled by one of the top processors (Trinnov Altitude 16) with immersive audio upmixers plus vintage quad duties handled by Sansui QSD-1, QRX9001 and Audionics Tate SQ. So just don't have a need for the Involve anymore.

The SM hasn't been used much, works fine & I have the cables, manual & orig box for it. I bought it brand new from Involve for around $450. They only made a limited number of the SQ models. We can discuss price but I'm thinking $200 plus my shipping cost from Atlanta area. I'd like to see an enthusiast use it rather than sit in my system or in a closet. Plus I could use the space for a new streamer I've got my eye on.

The Involve SM served a need for a modern matrix decoder & a backup if my Sansui QRX & Audionics finally died since I wasn't going to restore the QRX a 3rd time since 1979! And it did that well but since I bought it I found a QSD-1 on Ebay & had it restored by Jim Skoker. In mid '19, I finally pursued my dream prepro - Trinnov Altitude. I don't need another box for surround ;)

Anyone interested please PM me & we can share email or phone. I've been a long standing QQ member for many years starting in the early QuadBob era. A long time quadraphile & surround sound addict :love:

I was quietly admiring it and considering buying it and Quadzilla beat me to the punch. Which is fine because I am not ready for a SM yet.
 
Similar situation to the OP. I bought version 2 and don't see myself using the original, especially since I am downsizing and moving, with no plans for a 2nd quad setup. Mine is also the SQ specific version. So same deal - $200 plus shipping from Dover, Delaware, if anyone is interested. PM me,
 
Sorry, folks for not updating - it was SOLD to Quadzilla. He jumped on it!
bob.stek - and congrats for finding a home for yours :)
