    And only $12k, at that. That is freakin' AWESOME!!!!

    I've always coveted those. If you buy a set of the new ones, The Siegfried (800 watt all tube mono-blocks, Luke Manley will personally come to your house and set them up for you.

    wotans are popular amongst several Sound Lab owners, nice price. I am pretty sure they can hold their ground against a behringer but Max you should get them and do an abx test....

    Why get those when you can get a Crown? It even comes with a fan to keep everything cool.

    I monkey with my privates to pictures of Ted's Wollcot amps.

    SDA SRS modded: X’ovrd, de-polyed, inductorized, interconnectorized, re-posted, dynamited, RDO’d, spiked, gasketed, ringed (Larry's), and grill cloth blinged! Done this on my own? Not a chance. Thanks to Raife and all who forged easy to follow upgrades. At least a 100% improvement in sound and my personal listening pleasure! :cheesygrin:Pass XP-10 preamp, Parasound A21 amp, Pioneer Elite DV-58AV (Ric Shultz modded), Audioquest Sky IC's, No longer need my Sunfire sub after mods...
