L-o7's were a great sounding amp, very wide bandwidth, fast and dynamic. Had today's sound yesterday. But weren't very stable, could oscillate at the drop of a hat with capacitive
loading like ESL speakers give.

Old Amp vs. New Amp
Hi All!
I'm in search of a new amplifier and I am looking at new amps as well as older used amps. There is some really great older gear out there for very reasonable prices, and of course the new stuff is considerably more expensive.
Is newer stuff really any better than some of the great older gear from the 90's and early 00's?
Opinions?
