Id stick with an AL-1200 using the new 3CX1200Z7 for now or the AL-1500
where 8877 pulls are available for $300 and the new production Chinese
versions are excellent.
Let the big guys fight it out with obsolete or soon to be discontinued tubes
until a real SS 3KW amp that is contest and idiot proof arrives and the
price is driven down.
