What can you tell me ?

Hi Jack.

IMHO, anything bearing the name Conrad Johnson is hard to beat for value.

But, you might want to check out these other tube amps (some are hybrids):
> BAT VK-55
> McIntosh MC275
> Music Reference RM-200
> Bryston 4B-SST
> Coda S5
> Halcro Logic MC20
> Luminance Audio KST-150
> Portal Audio Paladin (monoblocks)
> Prima Luna ProLoue 7 (monoblocks)

Perhaps you spoke with Marvin in the first place - the Bryston and Halcro amps are not tube amps, but solid-state. What the hell's going on today?

Take a look at the Butlers - fabulous sound! I have a TDB-5150 5-channel amp and it works quite well with my all-Gallo surround sound system. They also have a sweet 2 channel tube amp, the TDB-2250.

And Butler is having a factory sale right now, you can save over $400 on the 2250...
