Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

Golden Tube 300B monos (highly modded)
Altec 1570B monos (extreme mods)
future ideas: Wyetech Topaz 572 or Wavelength X1 300B monos

HT
Denon receiver
Citation 5.1's
Theta Dreadnaught

It would be great to see this thread again in about 15 years...

My main upgrade was pre-amps which led to experimenting with the amplifier changes. Now with my B&K pre-amp and seperate Sony ES Dolby Digital processor i'm very satisfied with the sound of the Fosgate amps. The reason I went to the fosgates was I was using a Fosgate processor and wanted the amps to match.This was all on trading on existing equipment. Happy listening.
