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.

Wow, this is a great thread to really go back in time and see all the things done.
1. Onkyo reciever, not sure the model back in late 90's though.
2. Conrad Johnson MF2250
3. Rotel RB 1080
4. Conrad Johnson MF2500
5. Conrad Johnson Premier 350 (demo for couple months)
6. McIntosh MC2301
7. BAT VK600M-SE 600 watt mono blocks

The two I enjoyed the most prior to the BAT was the Premier 350, just an amazing SS amp for sure. Then the Mcintosh 2301 was very nice as well. I would still like to hear the premier 350 with better gear than I had when did the demo on it. That amp was very, very nice indeed.

That said the BAT is now here to stay for a while and it is one great pair of amps. Quick and powerful and flawless in delivery IMO.
