This is for Ivan's "Wall of Phlame".  Some folks collect Hummels, Ivan collects iconic amps.

Not all the amps are "flames" just a couple.

Specifically the phase linear 200-400-700

The BGW7000

Crown MT1000 (the original one)

BOSE (not sure of model but 400 watt/channel and over 100lbs)

Those are the amps I "loved to hate" back when I was a bench tech

One on each side in the middle of the aircraft so as not to unbalance it!

Not historical, but here are some amps that were part of a DJ system being used at Panorama. It was apparently designed by some famous DJ, and with 7 stacks like this around the room it sounded pretty damn good. I was more impressed with the amps. I'd love to have some of these at home.

Mac's are pretty but kind of blurry sounding compared to other things.  You want something like this at home.

Weren't they just labeled as "BOSE Power Station" ??
Used an Adamson rig 20 or 25 years ago with a couple of racks of them.
In the 2 years I was there, never had to bench one of them.

The one I have is the 1800.  400 watts per channel.

I have repaired a good number of them back in the 80s. 

One of them came to me with a hole burnt through the circuit board that you could drop a silver dollar through.

NO-I CANNOT fix that---------
