Just two in the home theater - a Myryad MA 360 ( 3 channel ) and a Rotel 2 channel that is rebranded for the Asian market under R Tec - actually a nice sounding unit with 60 W per channel.

Including integrated:

Luxman L 215
Luxman L 480
Vincent SV 236 MK
 
How about "how many amplifiers do you have that used to work but now sit in the closet for one issue or another"? Right now that is three, although I sent a couple off to someone earlier this year because I was collecting too much stuff that didn't work properly anymore.

Interesting to re-visit after almost eight years. I still have the old BGW 500D, the chassis that housed the GB150D now has a Discrete Dynamics 120 in it. I have a Hafler DH 200 and a Sherwood AM 7040 in the present pile.
 
I was down to around 3. But as of right now I'm back to 11, and counting. It doesn't help when you just keep building more. I have 2 I'm building right now and researching another. At leased I'm happy with the preamps I have.
:D

Power amps:
SAE Mk. IV CM

Still kicking myself for not grabbing one of those rare Hitachi MOSFET integrateds recently; thought I had “too many amps” already. Ha. Looking at the numbers some are putting up here, guess I have a long way to go!
