Great Vintage Amps-which one for you?

Threshold Stasis S500 250 W/Ch Series II Class A/AB Optical Bias. Built like an armory! (98 lbs)

Mine was circa 1983-1984. I was once thinking of selling this amp but fortunately did not. I spent 2 months searching for parts to "re-cap" it (4 Mallory CGS type) I found a store which sells the units for $160 total. After replacing the caps, I was very surprised that they sound so good, much better than I can remember.

My passion towards this amp was renewed. I am glad I made a good decision to restore the unit. I love it!

Come to think of it, I was considering to sell this unit for just $600 before.

Has anyone tryed to use Dynaudio, B&W, Paradigm, or any hi-end speaker with a vintage amp? If so, how does it sound? What are the advantage and disadvantage? The reason for my concern is that I can not find info on such a match. It would be pretty intresting to see a match like Sansui/Dyanudio.
BTW, has any one heard about Phase Linear and GLI amps? If so, please comment on these. Thank you for concern and happy listening.

I have an ARC D-79, and have used it regularly with Vandersteen 2CE speakers. It provides a full, lush sound with plenty of bass. I get plenty of volume (70WPC) and the sound is way more detailed than you would expect.

Where can I find ARC? I tryed to look at audioreview with no luck. Thanks for the responses.

Yeah, it took me awhile to get the lingo down too. ARC is Audio Research Corporation. So you will find their current products at http://www.audioresearch.com Keep your eyes peeled on ebay and here for a vintage ARC.
