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

Life is too long to settle on one....that being said....one needs a great tube amp, Class A SS and massive SS amp. Pick your favorite manufacturer....there are many good one's to choose from.

I remain a VAC fan. I recently heard what my 450IQs can REALLY do and they were just jaw-dropping. It was great to hear them doing what they do best, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Obviously this is very subjective. :-)

My VTL 300s. Followed by my Threshold S/300.

WYETECH labs 211 ok if you like non existent service ,plus build quality poor poor cheap $70 output transformers

Ask this question again in 5 years to those who have a keeper. I have had a few keepers over the years, and yet find myself with another amp/speaker/CDP/etc in less than 5 years. It's just in my nature to want to hear as many components as possible in my lifetime. I can't keep it all, so that is the trade off.
