How does the Phase Linear 400 compare?


I have had one for many years and fire it up regularily and think it sounds very good.What are your thoughts? Rob

i got my first system back in the early 70's. your're right. they did suck up a lot of power because of their equilizer and 100 watts were reccomended. only reason i bought the pl400 was because of it's price. 
i bought a new pl400 back in 1973. cheapest power amp back then with 200 watts per chanell!!! 
phase linear needed 'protection' which it did'nt have. otherwise it could've been a great amp!!!
back in the early 70's i had a pl400 with 4 bose 901's! in the late 90's the pl400 fried 3 of my 901's!!
