Tbg,
Referencing your 9/15/12 post, I was finally able to acquire a pair of Wright Sound WPA 3.5 SET monoblocks to pair with the Altec 846A Valencia's. I now see (hear) what all the fuss is about with zero feedback flea powered amps! I've been playing jazz and vocals and the bass produced by the Wright-Altec pairing is more than I had anticipated. A lot of "air" around instruments and lots of detail. The music is more palpable, textured and visceral.
A whole new world! I'm liking it!
