Anyone read TAS's Ten Most Significant Amps?


Wow, seems its the ten most significant amps of the 50's, 60's, 70's, a little 80's. No mention of the Pass Alephs, Hafler TransNova, Krell FPB, Halcro, B&O ICE based or Tripath designs. I think this all goes to show that the Audio rags are run by a bunch of old timers, not that its a bad thing, just seeing the same names over and over again. Yes we all know, CJ,MAC,AR,DYNACO,HEATH but funny enough if you go back far enough there are even older Significant audio companies/designs. Maybe I should just shut up and go to bed. Let the carpet bombing commence! :^)

Did the Carver Silver 7s make the list? That was the first really really expensive mega-buck product I know of.

How about Quad 88? I thought (was told) they were some of the first really good tube amps.
