Air Tight 2001 mono's:
while I suspect it sounds like a 'dream', it looks like a 'nightmare'. Personally , I couldn't put up with that thing taking up floor space in my house.

I stretched for my dream amps, accuphase A-200 monoblocks, and will continue to live in that dream as long as possible. Lots of great stuff out there, but not currently dreaming about other amps.

Dream amps have one unexpected drawback...the better the amp the more urgent the need to have a top notch source.
If not, you in for pain and suffering when favorite source material suddenly sounds "disappointing...":badnews:

Well if I am going to dream about the unobtainable I guess I will go BIG.

Nick's products compete nicely with any tube gear out there. Happy listening.
Many thanks. I used to have a Graaf GM-100 OTL amp and missed that "tube amp magic", even though top rated ss amps come awfully close.

I hear you , when the tubes hit .... 
Just finished a listening session with a pr of 3 way Folded horns driven by a 4 watt SET , fantastic !!! There was some limitation if you really push too much on high DR music , but the way this little amp placed the musicians and instruments right their in the room , was really good , loved the naturalness of it all and this on run of the mill digital ...

I have had mine for about 8 months and couldn’t agree more!
I would love to hear them with your Raidho 5.1s!

Now that would be a real treat!
Tell us something about the rest of your system Howie.
20,000 watts and hand made in Italy, lol.

Just kidding, I have know idea what my dream amp would be. Maybe some high end high power tube amps like Atma-sphere MA-3's or VTL MB-450. Of course I would want a refrigerated room to deal with the heat.
