EDIT:  Just so you know, this is just one channel of a pair of mono block power amps.  You get two of these 6550-based beasts. Twenty three tubes per side.  STILL one of the very best.  Truly statement pieces.

I hope they are auto-bias. My amp has 4 6550s, I can just imagine the heat generated by 36 6550s.

All these amps are lookers. So here is the bottom dweller.

Haha, agree. It's the one thing that still tempts me to swap to Stax.

It's a tragic shame that they used Papyrus for the logotype. I cannot abide.

I still think that the Minute 45 amp that Headfonia reviewed a while back is absolutely breathtaking.

These make me happy.  I really like where they fall on the spectrum of form and function. Most of the amps are overly decorative (for me).

Well here is another set on bottom dwellers.  I would love to have them though...

No way - WingDings is the only font for use on tube amps. Sanskrit is also pretty cool.

The amp looks awesome, but that tube looks absolutely gorgeous!

Hovland, Luxman or Nagra.

For looks, I have always been a little partial to the Cary 211's
 

 
Along with the Manley NeoClassic 300b

 
 
 
 
But I am a bit biased (no pun intended) since I sell both brands!

There generally is a tradition of using un-classy font when it comes to tube-amplifiers. The producer do not spent too much money on graphic designers... They do most themselves, I guess
