Linear Tube Audio

Thanks for all the replies.  Keep them coming.

“The cost of the integrated amps on a per watt per channel basis is quite expensive”

?  

That quote I have seen before in reviews...whether written or on Youtube vids regarding this brand

Yes the price per watt is fairly high but I will say not only do these amps always sound great when I hear them matched with appropriate speakers but they also have a clearly unique design compared to most tube amps as I recall and that definitely helps to differentiate them from the competition. .

I wrote this about the Ultralinear:

Still cannot recommend LTA highly enough. Paired with appropriate speakers some of the best sound available in a novel design that emits little heat, with tubes that last forever, and offered by a company that is led by a super guy with a great team. These are David Berning amps built by a guy who understands manufacturing and customer service--nuff said.
