Apparently, I was the one who initiated this thread, which has created
such a kerfuffle. There had been lot of news re Alpha, TenTec, etc
going on at the periphery of my attention for the past year or so that I
was legitimately ignorant of their current status. As others have
pointed out, difficulty accessing their web page added to my concern.
I'm sure the Alpha principals, who have commented on this subject, will
be gratified to know that because of all the favorable opinions I
received from the members of this group, I have decided to buy the 9500
and will pick it up this Friday. Many thanks to all who helped me make
that decision.

I was offered an updated, apparently flawless Alpha 9500 at a reasonable
price. I was vaguely aware of Alpha's involvement in consolidation
under the aegis of RF Concepts with TenTec, but I hadn't paid close
attention. Based on the reviews in Contesting.com, the amp appears to
be a reliable performer, although it does lack 6M, which seems to be the
norm these days. A viable source of competent repairs seems to be a
major issue. Anyone out there know the current status of Alpha amp
ownership?
Thanks and 73,
Joe
