No love for whats proven and time tested? I mean yes new technology is cool and very much the future, but lets not crap on out former loves. The grass aint always greener.
Ill still stand behind my "boat anchor" amp. Ill live with the heat (although mine doesnt get hot at all?)and added electricity in order to have that class A/B lush mid range and aggressive imaging that it delivers. Until I hear a digital amp that really delivers Ill stay the course too, sound quality is worth the extra $5 a month in electric...and if it did get I would use that heat on the winter?
A couple of decades ago, there was a similar argument as folks wistfully described their devotion to their fire bottle amps. Time marches on. I suspect Outlaw's fortunes would be a bit better if they ride the front of the wave rather than trying to cling to the past. There's still folks that make a living by putting together fancy class A triode amps with lots of brushed aluminum and other shiny bits, but that number is dwindling and the price of their products are escalating towards the stratosphere while the cost of quality digital amps are steadily falling.
Call me crazy, but I think a fella stands to make more profit selling 100,000 Hondas than 500 Lambos.
