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

For amp/speaker pairings, which I agree is more meaningful, I would say quality high power Class D amps and OHM Walsh perform at the highest levels and at price points affordable to many that nothing else can touch.

That is already the case with recent generation Class D amps not to mention that this technology is still relatively young in its maturity curve and well only get even better over time. Class D amps are a true enabling technology that has huge potential to push home audio to significant new frontiers.

Walsh driver and OHM Walsh speakers have been around for years but also continue to evolve and improve and Class D amps enable them to do things that were practically not possible for many in years past.

Audiolabyrinth,
You are excused. I think I was the first to tout speakers in this amplifier thread.
Of course, another member here shamelessly mentions his favorite (Ohms) at any slightest given opportunity. He shall remain nameless for sake of embarrassment (Mapman) HA!
To keep with proper decorum... my personal nominees are my Wavelength Cardinal Signature SE pair and Wavelength 45 Silver prototype pair.

While on topic of amplifiers I currently run Lowther DX4 in Beauhorn Virtuoso cabinets.

My McIntosh MC275 V5 is a keeper.
I don't think I will ever sell that amp.
I really like the looks, and the sound even better with my RCA Black plates, Mullard, and Genalex reissue tubes.

Horch Elektroakustik, Stage pre and Power Stage. I will never need to chage. My last amp.
