Wow some great collections there.
I started with a Pioneer amp when I was about 15, it was about 20wpc from memory.
Followed this with a Technics 40wpc amp with needle power meters on the front.
Can't remember model numbers for either of these.
Moved up a bit and bought a Luxman L215 over 20 years ago.
The Luxman blew after many years of service so I replaced it with a Rotel RA980BX bought at a reasonable price off EBay.
However, the bug had bitten and while all the above were second hand I decided it was time for a new amp.
Last year I replaced my ancient Rectilinear speakers and a week ago I bought my first valve amp: a Melody I34 which is the new model with a remote.
Must say I'm very happy with the new amp, a definite step up, but it has been quite a ride for many years.
