Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

Sansui 771 (was that the number?) in college
Quad 405 for many years
Adcom 555 - there it is again, also for years
JRDG 9 Ti's for 2 years
Pass 600's for 6 months
Krell 750 MCX monos-Ahhhhh

Maybe the new high-power Tenor in the future

David- How about some of the super powerful amps you have demo'd recently??? You certainly like powerful amps for those power craving speakers!! I have heard the new Tenor's and they are amazing, not sure if they will have enough juice for you, but for everyone else they are great ;) How is your listening room coming along?? ~Tim

I guess I have to add my new amp to my personal amp evolution list from last year. David Berning custom built 45 SET ZOTL. Totally awesome!

Dynaco (120? so long ago I don't remember!); JVC; Yamaha; Classé DR-8; BEL MK III; Pass X250; Edge NL-10. The Edge ends my quest for what I feel will be a very long time. It has all the attributes I have looked for, and it's high power give me flexibility for future experimentation w/speakers (though I'm equally pleased w/my SF Electa Amator IIs).
