Toughest hombre west of the Pecos?

Well, I guess I will throw in my 2 bits!

I reckon ol' Clint would freeze the Duke with one of his patented stares, and then blow the top of the Dukes head off with a Colt .45 he drew from under the dirtiest poncho (a real poncho, not a Sear's poncho, mind you!), that you ever saw!

As far as tubes vs. solid state, I would say both. (My Lamm M2.1 hybrid monoblocks use the best aspects of both technologies).

As far as Lee Marvin goes, he would be off drunk in some bar, and would miss the gunfight entirely. :-)

Chuck Norris- he never sleeps, he waits.
And he doesn't need either tubes or transitors, he stares
at something long enough, it sings.

steve mcqueen....ss and tubes mixed.

With a gun, Eastwood. With just fists, Wayne.

Tubes.

John Wayne, for sure. Both are awesome, and they were good at beating up the bad guys, but John Wayne always won with the women , too. Clint always seemed a bit lost with the ladies. Plus he had really bad taste in women.
