g_nakmoto,
I have to say that back in the 70's I was a Phase Linear user and was surrounded by others who used Phase Linear. I remember the sound being wonderful, fast and clean. Amps that I owned were the 400 series's One and Two. Never a problem. My friends owned 400s, 700s and one used two D-500's. We ran them hard and never had a problem not ever.
I even used a 400 to run a PA system for my band. Now it wasn't built like my McIntosh MC-2300, but then nothing at the time was. Still all this Phase Linear bashing? A Phase 4000 preamp and any of the above mentioned amps makes a sweet little system that will drive anything. With regard to frying speakers, I can't remember that happening either.
I like most have moved on but I know if I had too I could live with any of my old systems, Phase, Mac, GAS, Citation, Levinson etc. I have re-discovered my Sansui 9090db a few years ago and haven't been listening to anything but it. Seems to do everything just about right.
