Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers


I am looking at some older Pure Class A amps and am curious as to are they as good as some newer amps like the Pass X150, and which ones are recommended, and have they been compared to each other anywhere? Thanks much for the recommendations.

I am considering the following PURE CLASS A amps:
Threshold T-50
Monarchy Audio SM-100 Monos
Monarchy Audio SM-70
Forte Model 4
tpk123

I second the Classe DR-3B. A friend of mine had one for a short while and I told him to never sell it. It was one of THE best amps I have ever heard IMO. His speakers were relatively ineffiecient so he sold it. I couldn't swing owning it at the time.
