Anyone ever hear or own one of these? Was thinking of buying one from someone in Florida. Thanks.

Yes, once a while back. It sounded fantastic, but this is probably of little help considering I can not remember anything else about the system it was driving. :(

I always wanted one, and when I saw one on audiogon recently I could not justify the $$$. Plus, I am in a happy place with my system right now. I would say you should look into Mesa's support for the Baron. I think they still will service them, and I may be mistaken but, they may have had an upgrade for it at some point. Also, didn't they have a program for the original owners where they would re-tube it it for life for a nominal fee? Maybe I am just dreaming that last part.

They always seemed like they would be so much fun to play with.
I'l stop now because I not really being of any help :)
