That Boston amp is the last of the old stuff before they fully switched production to Malaysia including sourcing cheap parts.
All the old GT series amps like that one were either made in the US from American sourced parts or some of the old boards and cases were shipped to Malaysia and assembled there using up the remaining US sourced parts.
I wouldn't go anywhere near the new Boston stuff they are selling and instead only look out for the old GT series amps as the build quality and components used are brilliant and audiophile quality.
The amp that Niall had off me was a silly stupid price to be fair for what it is, i sold it to him for roughly what I paid someone who didn't have a clue as I wanted it off my hands because I was struggling to get the other amps I needed from that series for my planned install
Earlier in the year I tried to buy the baby brother 2 channel amp to match on ebay - it had a lot of cosmetic damage and still sold for £75 so Niall got a total bargain IMO
Unluckily for Niall he has absolutely no chance of prising my 'New Old Stock' Boston Z6 components from me - they are the Holy Grail in 6.5 inch comps.

Old school Boston amps and speakers kick ass in terms of quality and those in the know keep quiet about it.
The new stuff, imo is terrible in comparison and has shat on their hallowed name from a great height.
