[Amps] What to buy?

[Jeff Blaine]

Specufic to the Alpha products, in the serious 1500 w capability class, the Alpha 8410 (dual hole) amp is a good choice in the 
manual-tune category.  This is off their "commercial" line variation where they have pushed up the plate dis over the standard 8400.

For a commercial amp, Alpha will meet your requirements, especially the
8x and 9x series, or the more recent ones. .

However, you can easily homebrew an amp that will even beat Alpha for
brick-on-the-key performance. A single 8877 or YC-156, massive power
transformer, heavy gauge tank coils and an oversized blower will do the
job.

Not everyone wants to homebrew, but it is an option.
