Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?

Bedini25/25, 250/250 bi-amped are a perfect match. The 25/25 is very detailed with this set-up.I believe John Bedini built them to work together. Another great amp is the original LSR&D model 101 stereo and 102 monos.

Hey Gaslover! I haven't heard a Grandson yet, but I've acquired four Sons, an AmpzillaII, and a Gas 500. I've had them all recapped and gone over, with two of the Sons bridged. They are all fabulous, but the amp that knocks my socks off is, believe it or not, the Leach Low TIM amp. I found a pair of original LSR&D "Superamps" on Craigslist, had them redone and they beat the Ampzillas hands down. Speed, detail, linearity, but above all, truly flat response equate to extremely fine and precise transients. They simply display the particular recording you're listening to.

If you love amps, there's more than one: LSR&D Superamp monos, Meridian 105 monos, Acoustat TNT200/120, G.A.S. 500, Bedini 100/100, Sunfire Signature 600-2, BEL(Brown Electronic Labs), Perreaux 2150b/3150, to name a few. But imo, the holy grail would be non other than the elusive Yamaha MX10000. Haven't heard nor seen one except on the net. One came up for sale on CAM a little while ago. Like the Scarlet Pimpernel, it appeared and then disappeared without a trace! Wonder what happened there?

I also have just acquired a Citation XX. It's on it's way. We'll see how it measures up to my stable of LSR&D model 101 and 102s. Same vintage. But I wonder if Dr. Marshall Leach borrowed from Matti Otala in designing the LOW TIM circuit. Who was the chicken?

Okay, compared to the Citation XX, the LSR&D is a little brother. Wow, serious keeper indeed.

Now there's one big open abyss!
