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

Can't forget the Fisher Price MB592069452 Mk. IX Version 68206835069ABCD with the watergates.

I absolutely love my Pass Labs XA-160 mono blocks. They have mated well with all speakers I have used them with, including some of my own design while the speakers still were "works in progress."

My Quicksilver V4's in my present system. They may not be perfect for everyone but for me they are

Joule Electra Grand Marquis 160s.

Yes; Cary 500 MB. These babies do 500 watts into 8 ohms and double-down to 1000 watts into a 4 ohm load (such as my Magnepan 3.6's) with plenty of current, they can drive any speaker. Softer and more refined than the Pass A/B designs (a lot less expensive too), they are the closet thing to really good tube amps that I have found in a solid state design. Very highly recommended! I won't be selling mine anytime soon...probably never...
