What makes you build a system around an amplifier?

atmasphere,

Maybe try “Nina Simone - Emergency Ward “

No matter how much you have in the end you would have had even more if you had started off with more. - Old audiophile axiom

If you want it all, air, dynamics, tinkling of glasses in a small club look no further than Nina Simone’s first album, Little Girl Blue. Don’t Smoke in Bed, Mood Indigo, etc. That's what I'm talking about!

I want to make it clear, this thread is definitely not about perfect amplifiers. :)

It is about amplifiers you fall in love with.

My search actually ended a while back as a result of owning a Plinius SA-102 amplifier, upgraded/modified by Vince Galbo. This amp hits all of my audiologic buttons, and then some. Nice to, at least, have the amp search resolved.
