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

i've been happy w/my kenwood L09 300w monoblocks since i bought them new 30 years ago. they match up well w/the tube preamps i've had. good imaging & seemingly fast enuff transient response. my equipment has made me happy, but i could always make a change if... we'll see.......

Mcintosh MC206 = does everything right

My GAS500 Ampzilla, because I got it from it's designer, and even at 30 years it is unsurpassed in every regard.

Krell 300cx. Have owned it for almost 8 years, sounds fab, never even a burp.

Hey Gaslover,

I have a 'Grandson' in my basement that I hear is the (not power wise of course) 'killer' of them all. The elderly gentlemen that I got it from (lost his hearing) said that it was beautifully 'voiced'. I have had it now for years and have never even listened to it. Having a hard time switching off my Citation.

Well, I am a Citation fan, and the 16A does it for me. Very tube like quality and the bass goes downstairs like thunder at your doorstep. After hearing it, I sold my 9 McIntosh amps. (I do miss them sometimes..)

Then again, I always liked the Krell KSA 50, and the Levinson ML2's... What to do?
