What amplifers are you using with your Altec gear?

[SD-50]

A7s in the hometheater/casual listening room have a Simaudio integrated amp powering them. The other room, all analog with an Oracle TT and 604-8Ks have a Jolida 801 propelling the music.

Yamaha XP 1000 on the 416Bs

NAD 326BEE on the 802s

Nad 3020e for PHONO preamp(and the JBL 2404Hs if I ever hook them up).

DCX2496 running 2-way

DEQ2496 out of action - power supply croaked after local powerco did a dead line change-over.


Put aside: SONY TA 4650 V-FET integrated amp - needs intermittent volume control attended to.

Any good Electronics repair shop close by you should suffice... You don't want to get into too much shipping costs, as you will soon be past its own value..

I finally bough some 300B's for my amps.
Electro Harmonix gold grid.
So far so good.
Nice to have the big amps back in the system.

OK, I'm reviving this dead ol' thread.
I recently scored a very nice Altec 9444A/SA - this thing is super clean and I got it for less than $90.
The amp has loads of clean power and sounds pretty good. I need to pull out my pre-amp and see how it goes.
