Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
 jd157, you may be pleasantly surprised. The Krell SA-250 sounded great on a pair of A1s years ago. The Levinsons should too.There's really nothing new in the amplifier word only better parts. An upgraded amp from years ago will probably sound as ...

Great! Thanks. I see you are a fan of Budgie too. So am I. "Never Turn Your Back On A Friend" is great. Metallica does some of their songs. You have good taste in music.
