How do we remember 1970s amplifiers?
i heard that the phase linears were the king of frying speakers!! 
Mc2105/2125/2205 vs mc7106 for 2ch/ht set up?
those 2125 and 2505 are older amps. it might be better for you to go with the 7106. just my opinion. 
Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
bartokfan, was that $250.00 an hour, or $2.50 an hour?LOL! 
McIntosh MX 130 as a 2 channe preamp tuner
price wise, i went with the mx132 with the tuner module. i bought it from audio classics. i was looking for a pre-amp tuner that would match my mc602. most of these were the older models. so i settled for the home theater unit.  
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
i bought a 4300 4 chanell reciever back in the early 70's. mine was back ordered because it was'nt available yet. they did'nt even have the wood cabinet either. i still have it but it's in retirement! 
Mcintosh mc-601 or 1201 ?
i read many years ago to hear a 3 decibal increase in loudness you have to triple your wattage, not double. 
Mcintosh MX132 : good 2 channel performer?
i have a mx132 also. i only use it as a 2 chanell setup.  
McIntosh and Autoformers. . .?

MAC Autoformers?
other companys don't have autoformers because mcintosh has a patent on it! 
McIntosh Mc2KW amp - anyone heard them?
the list price i believe are 35k each. i don't think any other brands makes an amp with this much power.  
Amp current - how much high current to go for
i don't know how much high current is needed but my mcintosh mc602 is rated to have greater than 150 amperes per chanell.  
mcintosh c45 vs. mx135
the c45 is a 2 chanell pre-amp. the mx135 is a home theater pre-amp. i think it's a 5.1. i only listen to music so i was looking for a pre-amp tuner to match my mc602 power amp. the only one's i found were the older models which were not the curre... 
phase linear amplifiers
you guys are right. i did post twice because i'm not to good with a computer. i did use mine from 1973 till 1989. then had it in storage till 2000. i would say there have been many amps since 1970. some are inexpensive some are not. i only bought ... 
phasel linear 400
threshold, now that's what an amp is all about. you get what you pay for!! 
phasel linear 400
back in the early 70's i bought a phase 400. never will i buy a refirbished one. they are known to fry speakers because they were not well built. i have mcintosh now. no worrys!
