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

Parasound Halo A51. Great specs, plenty of power, and very well built. Good looking too! And most importantly, WAF. So yeah, it's gonna be a keeper for life.....Cheers....RT

The Lavardin IT, it`s a keeper, unlike you wan`t the hole set with the 2 monoblocks, but if i could affort them, i will still buy Lavardin!!!!

wyred 4 sound.

I own 2 Mcintosh MC2000's consecutive serial #'s. These are the most BEAUTIFUL pieces Mac ever made, its rare, its tubes and only 1200 to 13000 made worlwide! When you talk about collectability I think it beats most amps listed here. Oh yea...they sound pretty good too! I use mine as mono blocks....

Bryston B60 is a keeper for life for me. Either it's life or mine, whichever comes first. I'm 34, and by Bryston's track record, it'll probably outlive me!

There's better amps out there. But isn't there always better? If I win the lottery, if amplification goes through a renaissance, or if today's amps somehow become obsolete, it'll stick around as a second system amp.

I had it updated to the current SST status a few months ago for $125. In the 5 or so years I've owned it, I've never looked forward, backward or sideways.

Im not close minded and think I'll never prefer anything else or go through a phase where I want tubes, but again, I'll never get rid of it.

Or at least won't get rid of it until I have a son that's wise enough to appreciate it.
