Either this note is a testament to longevity, performance, and durability, or its an embarrassing insight towards an inability to change or hoarding.

| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? @atmasphereThank you.You said earlier, there are a lot of amps that will work for you.I agree. Finding the exact right one is the issue.
