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.
