There's one person on this forum who highly recommends them, and so does the music reviewer Anthony Fantano, AKA "The Needle Drop". I want a wider consensus though. Here are my questions.
- Are there comparably priced amps with better components and sound today?
- Are old school amps mostly about the cool vintage look?
- If there's a real advantage to them (especially considering some of them are powerful enough to blow out your bookshelf speakers, which mine peak at 100 watts), what would that advantage be?
I'm certainly intrigued, I just want more information. I will be using them mainly for bookshelf speakers, but it would be neat to hear them power high ohm headphones like the AKG K240 600ohm.
