Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?

There was a post already about this a week ago or so. Check the archives for instant replies. Arthur

I was always interested in a higher powered tube amp to drive my Infinity RS 1-B's mid's and tweeters. I was considering the ARC VT200, VTL 450 etc...but all were used and around 4-5K. I have read and followed HP's recommendations and, although I have not always agreed with him, I have appreciated his writings and recommendations. Therefore, site unseen....I ordered an ASL Hurricane this weekend. I t should be in in 4-5 weeks. I will keep my ARC VT 100 mkll as back-up and report to you all about this amp.

Rick-- I might just do the same thing, and keep my Bryston 7B-STs until...

Are the orders that backed up that there is a waiting list
of a month or so? We just missed a pair on the classifieds that went for $2950, but you probably already knew this.

If I buy the Hurricane, it'll be my first tube amp in about 40 years! People (including HP!) keep telling me that's what I need to take the annoying edge off of CDs. We'll see.

BTW---I found the previous threads and came away as confused as before. I guess, as the Brits say, you just have to "suck it and see"! Lots of wannabee experts around.
