Bedini 25/25! I still have mine. Bought in 1980 from Innovative Audio in Brooklyn Heights, NY. Cost - $750. Used it with Quad 57's. A forgotten classic!
@roberjerman, I used that same combination myself for years, but sold my 25/25 about a year ago. Another worthy contender is a pair of BEL (Brown Electronic Labs) 1001 Mk. V's, ay? The only solid state amp Brooks Berdan liked and sold (he was enough of an idealist to insist on the former before agreeing to do the latter).
@bdp24 : Speak of the Devil! I am sitting here looking at my BEL 1001 Mk I. Serial number 0001. The FIRST production one from Richard Brown! Sold to a friend of his! And subsequently purchased by me! That's what I call rarity! I don't at present have it hooked up. Awaiting some space at my abode for a pair of my Quads to be set up.
I always wanted a Brown Electronics Lab amp after reading that review in TAS so long ago! It was quite pricey at that time! A few years ago I found one on EBay and had the winning bid ($525!). I learned it was being sold by the original owner, a friend of Richard Brown (who passed away way too soon!). I figure it will be at least as good as my Bedini (now in need of repair) for use with my Quads and Rogers LS3/5A's.
