For those who haven't seen it, here is a photo of my amp collection in my office, from a couple of years ago.

Most of the amps mentioned are in there-somewhere

I hope your office has a solid floor!!!


As for another amp to add to the list, the Carver 2.0t a truly light weight amp, 600 watts at 4 ohms per channel weighing in at about 10 pounds. I used the later version PT1250 on mids and it sounded great.
Clair used mono versions of that amp for a while.

That is the most common thing people say :)

Yes it is poured concrete on Georgia clay.  I don't think it is going anywhere.

No LED has ever recreated the information conveyed by a well designed meter movement.
IMO (slow average) mechanical meter movements are incapable of conveying a fraction of the information a well designed LED meter display can.

I will mention the original Hafler DH-500 amplifiers.  Saw a few of the kit versions get used for PA work, and they also made a pro version.

Since we do not have any clarification what "greatest" means I won't quibble about some that seem less than great.

 I do have sense of what what PA means. Many of the amps listed were home hifi amps that got repurposed for PA use.

The clay is strong enough..The concrete is just for leveling purposes
