Phase Linear

Has anyone used amps with this name? I have heard that it was designed by Bob Carver. Are these no longer manufactured?

I bought it new in the 70's. I still have 2 other PL amps. If you want to read up Phase Linear History and products check out the following website: http://hometown.aol.com/PhaseTek/

Made a ton of money. The field was not as competitive as it is now. Which could be the subject of a new topic. The Future Of High End stereo Amps. Are there changes taking place, or are all things normal. Normal meaning sales as good as were the 70's, 80's, 90's for the labs of those decades.
