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

Gaslover... I just might look up the little guy and see how it compares to my Citation.

You say and Eagle 7 sounded better than the Godzilla? My memory might be off, but wasn't Godzilla a pure class A design? Enormous power output, something like 200 wpc into 8 ohms, class A power. Should be able to heat a small home with it.

I never heard one, but remember well all the fanfare when it came out. I don't believe many were built. I will let you know how the Grandson sounds.

There were 23 Godzillas produced. Some were class A, some class A/B. I had S/N 19, which was the A/B version. 350 wpc into 8 Ohms and 1000 wpc into 2 Ohms! These were dual-mono, 1 chassis amps, and each channel was bridged; slew rate of 600 volts/microsecond. The beast drew 9 amps just idling... no signal present (Very high bias). The Eagle was a class A amp and that might have been the difference.
Good luck with the Grandson. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Gaslover, Wanted you to know, that Grandson is an extremely musical little amp. It almost has a tubey (I know it's not a word) sound to it, but with extra heft in the lower end. Nice wide, deep sound stage. Been listening to it for nearly a week. Very sweet indeed.

I am surprised there isn't more on the web about these amps. Makes me wonder what AmpZilla sounded like?

Best,

Norman

Luxman M-4000. Sansui Definition Series. In the last couple of years, I have managed to obtain Luxman T-110, C-1000 & M-4000. Am shopping for the M-2000 and M-6000 to complete the collection.

The adcom gfa-555 is a solid built amp.
