From time to time I get a taste for high power; a steady diet of single-minded, single-ended amplifiers will do that.
Since 2005 I've tried classic "cheapskate" amps: the B&K ST-140, Sonographe SA-250 and Classe' CA-70. None passed the grain-in-the-treble test and the Classe' really all-around sucked. Of course, they're all Solid State.
Yesterday I bought cheap, again, a Nelson Pass designed Adcom GFA-545 II. Please let this 100 Watter be listenable. I really want to run some power through the 2 and 4 Pis to hear what changes. Also, my granddaughter is getting old enough to want to listen to music and I can't have my naked tubes exposed to her.
We'll see and I'll let you know.
BTW, I'm typing this on my new Logitech Blue Tooth keyboard for the IPad and it's a lot better than the touch pad but not wonderful ;-}

I have an Odyssey Khartago (configured exactly like the one in the stereophile review) powering my 4 Pi's. It sounds great, much better than my old Adcom GFA 555. I paid less than listed on Klaus's website, perhaps he was so generous to offset the suck of living in Cambodia.
