[Amps] What to buy?

[Carl]

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.
