I had a pair of Ten-Tec Hercules 444s but have sold those and now own a pair of
Centurions. Both Centurions were purchased used from their original buyers.

Alpha is primarily a power amp company, with a great reputation for high
quality and high prices, but the company has changed hands several times over
the years. The Centurion competed with the Alpha product line, but at a much
lower price point. Who knows -- it may show up with the Alpha name on it. Or
sales may have fallen to the point where it was no longer profitable. No one
could accuse Ten Tec of being a ball of fire at marketing, and from where I
sit, Alpha seems not a lot better at it.
Rhetorical question. How many on this list own a Ten Tec Power amp? I own four
-- three Titans and a Herc II. How many own a different brand of power amp? I
own two -- an Elecraft KPA500 and an Alpha 1010. When is the last time you
bought a power amp FROM Tec Tec? I never have -- all have been used.
