    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I am moving into some new amps. I have been bi-amping my 802d's for the last year or so with a Krell TAS. It has been good to me. I was also using a Halcro MC50 for surrounds and I switched out with the TAS last weekend to try the Halcro and it only took 5 min listening to put the Krell back. The Halcro will be for sale now as the TAS will move to surround duty.

    So the upgrade bug has bitten once again. I am picking up a pair of FPB-350mcx's next week. To top it off another amp I have been wanting to hear is the cam400's. I was perusing agon the other night and found a reasonable deal on those. So, I am proposing to run the Krells through the bottom end and the Classe's through the mids and highs. Should be pretty sweet.

    My processor has a decent pass-through mode, but to get all these amps are worth I am feeling like I need to setup a nice 2 channel pre. I saw a Krell on this site, but I think I will try things with my pre/pro first as I have just spent a dumb amount of money on amps.

    I am really excited about this new setup and thought I would take a second to brag about it when I came across this thread.

    Good luck on your search for amps beardog03, in the end it's all about what your ears like. If you ever get over to Yosemite, I'd be happy to give you an audition.

    I managed to stay settled for the last year or so, but sometimes you just gotta say WTF and go for it......

    I'm dang happy with my Carver Silver 9t's. Plenty of power. Clean warm sound. Run cool even when playing the 1812 overture. And at the $1400 I paid for the pair, a steal for what you get. You can have them brought up to new condition and specs for $600 for the pair. Finding them can be a problem though.

    I have no idea what the market currently is, but a few years ago that would have been high.

    Yeah...

    I`m gonna pass..

    I was talking with a good freind, that reminded me that what I already have is a dual mono design...

    I`m gonna stick with the one I have now.....I got her with zero miles on her, and she has had no problems whatsoever....

    She sounds sweet and she`s still very much fresh...500w @ 4 ohms
    No need to change horses in mid-stream

    Thanks for all the input guys

    The 9t's are 575w at 8 ohms, they would push 1200w into Polks and are stable down to 1 ohm. I know one guy who let his speaker cables touch without turning the amp off and it welded the spade connectors together. Now that's power.
