I don't know each personal taste on the sound/build quality of these amps. The Cary SLM mono blocks are my favorites. They have 100 WPC and with the correct tubes, will blow away anything in the price range. You would need to spend $10K to get a better power amp set up.
Cary Audio. SLM-100 Against Golden Tube Se-200
Which one should i keep between this 2 amps for the next 5 years and so?
The SLM-100 which at 65 watts hard wire in triode which the manufacturer is still strongly in business or
The Golden Tube Audio SE-200 at 200 watts which the manufacturer is out of business.
Both are pair of monoblocks.
My speakers are Vandersteen 3A (might sell soon)and Merlin TSM-MM on order or find the right speaker later to keep and match to the right amp.My listening room size (B/R) is measuring 13'x 15'x 9 h.I listened mostly soft rock and jazz.
