Is Sonic Frontier Power 3 worth buying & keeping?

Hello

I am still looking to buy a amplifier for my audio/HT. I was looking into the Sonic Frontier Power 3, and was think should i buy it or not. Today i was talking to a person and he told me the Sonic Frontier is not worth buy and keep for a long time. He said most "tube amplifier" beside replacing tubes may have problem or don't work anymore due to a period of time. Do you think i should buy it or not and just stick my headsinked amplifier. I like the sound of the warm tubes for my music. Need some help and suggestion.

I used to own Power 3s and if "warm" is the sound you're looking for, I'd suggest demoing some other amps. I didn't find the Power 3s a very good buy. The Power 2 is a much better buy, you can get a new one in the $2500 range.

A good, warm soundinng tube amp (in my opinion) is the ARC VT100 MkII or III. A Mk II can be had for $2300-2500 used.

Good luck.
