How Many Amplifiers do you have?

Gotta catch up, I only have 2 at the moment
Kenwood M1 for mains and a Adcom 7400 for the other five channels (4 channels free at the moment on the Adcom, center only, no room for surround in my current living quarters. Oh, and my M&K sub has a amp in it.
 
Jesus, my g/f says I have way too many!

Non integrated, Power only:
Pilot SA-232
Yamaha M-4 (x2)

Since there was a "how many receivers do you have" thread (I have 0) I figured I would start a thread for us who prefer a non-integrated approach. :thmbsp:

-Heathkit AA-1800
-Heathkit AA-1600
-Nikko Alpha 650
-SAE 2400
-SAE 2201
-Yamaha MX-M70
-Carver TFM-35
-Carver M1.5t x2
-Carver M1.5t MKII Opt2

Only two. A Soundcraftsmen Pro Power Ten, a truly wonderful sounding piece of sonic hardware, and a Soundcraftsmen MA5002A I just bought that needs new output transistors. No reason to have anything that sounds inferior to Soundcraftsmen, which IMHO just about everything else I've heard does, and I've heard and compared a ton of them. At least in the price range I'm at. I'm know that for thousands of dollars there are amps that sound better, like the MFA 200B tube mono blocks that my friend has, but I can't afford them. My friend who has the MFAs just bought a Soundcraftsmen MA5002 which he prefers to the MFAs. I'm still reserving judgement on that, but the 5002 he has is probably THE most transparent amp I have ever heard.

That's a sobering question...so I'll only count the ones that aren't currently on my part-with list (although several will be leaving the herd - and several other's aren't going anywhere until after I'm pushing up daisies).

I'm on the fence about the Nikko Alpha 440

I've owned others at one time or another. I'm due for another purge obviously.

I tell my wife I am an audio-pile-ist the bigger the pile the better!
 
I have a Sansui au9500 for the past 30 odd years and just scored a harmon kardon citation16 power amp and the citation 17 preamp for $600.cdn.
 
I am not using my GAS Son of Ampzilla that has been restored.

I'd like to swap it out on loan for a Threshold 400A product.

Anyone? Buehler? PM me.
 
Integrated = 3
Onkyo A-5: Now in service at a friend's house
Realistic SA-10: Just for fun. Plus, I take with me when I audition CL speakers.
Fisher CA-800: Has one bad channel.
 
I thought I had it bad, but with only 6 power amps and 2 integrated amps I'm just a piker compared to some of the folks lists in this thread.

Power Amps
Marantz 140
Marantz 250
Phase Linear 400 Series II
Phase Linear 300 Series II (2 of these)
Phase Linear 200 Series II

Integrated Amps
Marantz 1060
Marantz 1250
