Default Single MX-R's Available on The Used Market?

Hi:
I have a pair of MX-R Twenty amps for my FR and FL speakers in a 5.2.4 system. I want to use another MX-R Twenty for my center channel. A VX-5 Twenty is being used, in bi-amp mode, as a center channel amp. I want to move the VX-5 to rear speaker duty and insert another MX-R (Twenty) to power the center speaker.
I only see MX-R's sold in pairs. Do they ever become available as single amps on the used market? Does anybody know where I can find a single MX-R?
Thanks!

Your dealer? ;-)

Seriously, MX-Rs are usually purchased in stereo pairs, but there are many here and elsewhere using them for home theaters so used MX-Rs occasionally come up for sale in odd numbers of units.

I've seen singles for sale, although rare. Will take patience.

I've seen a couple of singles in the last year. Not many people are well heeled enough to use a monoblock of that caliber for a center channel so I expect they will continue to be hard to come by.

Thanks for your responses. I will remain patient and keep an eye out for a lone MX-R.

Just call Michael at Ayre and ask him how much it would be for them to do it for you. I personally would only let them do it for many reasons.

Thanks to all of you who made suggestions.
I bought the single amp on Audiogon. I'm in Ayre heaven! Now all Ayre amplification in my system. Three MX-R Twenty's across the front make a significant improvement over the VX-5 driving the center when listening to multi-channel audio disks, blu rays, etc.
