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


Just wondering, with this audio merry-go-round of buying and selling, if anyone has an amp that will be a keeper for life. I haven't yet but came verrrry close once...

Heathkit SA-3. 3 Watts per channel. 2-EL84, 2-7199, 1-EZ81. 4,8,16 output taps.
I had this playing through EV Baronet cabinets w/ JBL LE8T full rangers.
Krell FPB 600. It will drive anything, and is wide detailed and smooth on the high end, never harsh. Love it with my fully restored Apogee Diva's.
@ Isochronism,I use JBl speakers as well,the L7,with the Taralabs omega 10" jumpers,one of the best sounding speakers with these top tier cables that I would put against anything in the $40,000.00 class speakers on down!,I have listened to all price ranges over the last 25 years,I accidently stumbled across these speakers a year ago,talking about wow!,they are the most diffulcult speakers to place that I have ever seen,but the pay-off is awsome to say the least 32hz to 27khz,with one of the best imageing and sound stage that I have ever heard from most speakers period!cheers!
Hello Audiolabyrinth,
The LE8Ts are only single 8"drivers. I just looked up your L7. I was not familiar with them until your mention. Look really nice!! Must sound fantastic!!
I have always been a JBL fan. I actually have a pair (in storage) of JBL 4550 cabs w/ original HF horns and drivers.
Since this is a thread about amplifiers, I've said too much already.
@ Isochronism,Thats awsome you have all those jbl speakers! If you decide to start a jbl thread let me know,jbl currently has speakers like the everest model and down with a few new models that are very costly!I am sure they are worth it,the speakers I have are the last high-end,not junk!,none horn loaded speakers they made before they went back to esoteric costly horn loaded speakers,I made the cabinets inert with still points top notch footers,since on this paticular speaker they skimped out on the reinforcements of the cabinets to keep cost down in 1992,the drivers are the very same as the ones in the everest and a couple models below that,the bass and mid-range drivers,My speakers go a little lower in bass than the new much more costler speakers jbl has,the still points and cables that I have should put them in the same conversation as the new exspensive jbls!,sorry amp people,Its not everyday I get to speak to a jbl lover,so please excuse me.,cheers!
