Tim,
Very pleased with my 2 tube Alpha 99. 65watts drive produces 1500W output
no problem. Automatic circuits seem to protect just about everything on
here from overdrive to mistune. Tubes have been in use for a number of
years now, but are still available at a semi-reasonable price. Used, these
amps are available for around $3k. Gotta love Alpha's Brick on the Key.
