Switching to solid state amp?

@bobheinatz , what sort of problems are you having with your current amps? Do you think they can't be fixed so they'll hold up?

There's a pair of Clayton M300s for sale here now that would be worth a look.  Thinking Class A amps might be your smoothest transition to SS.  Best of luck. 

Ralph I had my current amps worked on recently and one of them came back dead.  So not reliable. I will need to replace.

Tube amps are more fun. Other than the fact that tubes wear out eventually, and people who listen to systems in airless closets may have heat issues, tube amps allow you to mess around with tubes which keeps many unstable audio geeks from causing more trouble in the outside world. This information is based on a comprehensive study from Harvard, where it was found that audiophiles using SS amps had too much free time and could be found wandering the streets in most communities, seemingly looking for random people to harass in attempts to convince them to buy expensive fuses or cable lifters. Sad.

What Wolf said, it really is true, take my word. The truth will set us free!
