How Many Amplifiers do you have?

Wow

There's a lot a very cool gear everyone has here!

Even since I first started this thread, My amp collection has changed. I'm finding that my tastes are getting "honed" towards the gear I really want the most. Not that I'm reducing the quantity but I'm getting more focused. I switch amps frequently so I am using them.

Currently.........
Soundcraftsmen MA5002 w/meters
Nikko Alpha 650 (2)w/meters
SAE 2600 w/meters
SAE 2400 w/meters
Heathkit AA-1800
Heathkit AA-1600
Carver M1.0t MkII Opt2
Carver TFM-35w/meters
Carver 750w Monoblock (2)

I guess I love the big 70's-80's amps with big analog VU meters. :D

Harman kardon citation twelve stereo amp refurbished look!! Very clean 120watts

How many amps is too many? My amps 2 MC2100, 1 MC2250, 2 Phase Linear 400 I, Yamaha PC 1602. Yamaha M50, Carver 1.0t, Electro Voice 7300A, Dynaco (Bob Latino) ST-70, Fidek FPA-4002, Pioneer 9500II, there are more and some receivers but most of these are in use. Which brings me to a Harman Kardon Citation Twelve I just posted on ebay. Its been restored and is in excellent shape. I've also listed a vintage Teac reel to reel model X-1000R. Its got small mechanical problem. I also have a civilized system for the rest of the family upstairs. Big Onkyo surround 130x7 with 500watt Pyramid Amp(told you there were more) for dual subs. The speakers Front: vintage Electro Voice towers made in sweden reconned by me. Side: Infinity RS1001 with hot rodded woofers. Rear: Realistic Nova 16's w/modern drivers and crossovers. Center channels: Infinity. Subs are my design...Turtle Audio. Sound is shear awsome.:music: Well that was long winded hope someone goes and bids on the HK it deserves another good home and I could use the money. Plan to join AK full time soon. May there always be time for music. Robert
