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

Just another perspective: For me, part of the fun of this hobby is changing up from time to time. Tastes change, technology evolves, financial resources become greater or lesser ... I used to think in terms of "forever" but now electronics are more like audio FWBs -- providing great musical pleasure, with no strings attached.

If it hasn't already been said, my Lamm M1.2s.

Jhaxley its why we have several amps but you can still have a favorite or maybe brand.
But I agree something new is like rediscovering your music collection.

If I don't move house and if I don't change speakers I can imagine being burried with my Icon Audio Mb 845II monoblocks. That wouldn't be the case if I didn't hand over everything below 50Hz to a pair of Velodyne DD 15 subs as the Icons don't have sufficient damping for my Usher BE 10 main speakers.

Quad II..Every audiophile should have one in their racks
