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

i'm still in love with my cary audio slm-200 monoblocks. after i hooked them up, i thought to myself, "this is it. my amplifier search is officially over."

What about McIntosh 501 mono's - I'm gonna give them a listen with my thiel 3.6's

The Krell FPB 700cx has never failed to amaze me, but the fact that it is for sale would preclude the possibility of it fitting in with the 'Yes' responses. Unfortunately I need to raise some cash, so discretionary items are the first to be eliminated.

I had a Spectral DMA-80 for over a dozen years and was extremely pleased with it until I changed speakers. At that point it wasn't optimal and I initiated a very long search for a replacement. Ironically, I wound up going with one of the least expensive of my favorites, the Music Reference RM-200. This has all of the characteristics of a long term keeper including; wonderful sonics, robust build quality, and electronic stability. Given my history, I'll be enjoying this one for a very long time, but for a lifetime?

as im sadly discovering as time goes by there is no such thing as a keeper for life.

after a while we tend to get bored & off it goes to the auction!
