Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

My evolutionary chain is much shorter:
Onkyo Receiver>
Bryston B60 Integrated>
c-j Premiere 11A amp
+
Airtight ATC-1 Preamp
I am content with this combo right now, and broke from taxes, so I'm sticking with it for the forseeable future.

Began with a HT system that eventually evolved into a combined HT/2-ch system. You can see the evolution of amps from a mid-fi multi-channel to high-end multi-channel to fantastic sounding 2 channel. Am using the Berning for fronts, the EAD for the remaining 5 channels. Great combo.

Carver 806x 5-ch
ATI 1505
EAD PowerMaster 2000
Berning ZH-270
