solid state integrateds that will hold their value
I HATE losing a lot of $$$ when the bug hits me to try something new so I like to purchase gear that is not only reliable but holds its value well long term (and of course sounds good!).
Two on my short list are:
Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II YBA Passion
Mac's also seem to remain pretty stable in pricing but i have actually never HEARD one. Comments/comparisons of sound etc welcome.
Based on the OP's criteria, there are many wonderful sounding rigs that'll fly under the radar but if the cover of the book is paramount, then so be it.
