bullet proof amp

I don't know whether Bryston 4B-ST can be considered as vintage. I remember reading some comments about these amps being used in some night clubs and discos by DJs, and that cigarette butts are discarded on top of them and drinks spilt on them, and after continuous play at near clipping levels the amps never failed.

Also, I read somewhere here about the Krell KAV-400XI being dropped from a waist-level table onto a concrete floor and come out fine, although the concrete floor was chipped. Certainly built like a brick.

1.) Crown first, Hafler 2nd, and also Carver
2.) Pro touring amps

Amen Shadorne!It sounds as he has those already[guessing],but good idea as he'll be blowing up what he has real soon......

I short out the speaker terminals while the preamp volume is up all the way as a demo at shows. In addition, I pull tubes out of the amps **while they are playing** and swap them from one channel to the other, with no ill effect or artifact at all. Is that what is meant by 'bullet proof'? or does that have more to do with what happens when you drop the amp?

Jeff Rowland doesn't want his amps coming back so he builds them accordingly. The Continuum 500 integrated has everything that almost anyone could need as the foundation of a great system.
