BGW Amps?

Has anyone on Audiogon had any experience with BGW systems amps, especially the 750 series? They seem to be used in recording studios, but wouldn't they also be great for home audio?

Thanks

He was a happy camper. Many, many 75 watt darlington output transistors derated to a few hundred watts per channel.

You can find them at: www.bgw.com I can't vouche for their new amps, but back in the day (70's) their amps were quite durable and reliable. As for their sonic attributes, well, I would think that maybe they were better suited to bass drivers. You can find these on ebay sometimes.
