+1 vinylfan62! John Bedini certainly designed and built some fine sounding amps! I too still have my 25/25 (purchased new!) and a second-hand 150/150. These amps thrive on driving electrostats!
Lest we forget, Audionics made some excellent amps and preamps back in the mid - to late 70's! I still have my third CC-2 (rescued from a deceased friend's collection). This amp made TAC's list as Reference B! And the BT-2 preamp (designed by Barry Thornton of SAE) was a very desirable unit back in the day!
One more SS amp from the old days: the Quatre Gain Cell DG250! A contender for "best sound" in its class (125wpc) and capable of driving the difficult Dahlquist DQ-10's with ease! I have this combination in my collection.
As my preference lean towards warmer sound the Naim NAP500 was a clear winner, until I went for the MSB M204 mono blocks. They offered to me a different level of musicality.
