While they’re often overlooked these days, I’m still happy with my 30 year old Adcom “triple nickel” (GFA-555). The series 1’s were Nelson Pass designs, rated at 200wpc into 8 Ohms, 325wpc into 4. Enough power for me, and sound decent too. Maybe not “the best”, but a budget audiophile bargain for many years.
Hello friends, I open this 3D because I want know which are for you best vintage power amplifiers, I mean most powerful vintage power amplifier, amplifiers like Phase Linear 400, 700, 700B, SAE 2600, 2600L, Harman Kardon Citation 16, 16A, Bose 1801, Gas Ampzilla, etc.
I have a pair of JBL L-150A and I will buy a pair of L-220, I listen dance, disco 70-80 and a lot of others kind of music, so I need a really powerfull amplifier.
Now I have a HK Citation 16A and I think that for have enough power I must bridge it and so use two of these, one for every speaker.
Thanks!

I also have this stack which is in the basement listening space and it's gives all the power I’ll need as well. 3 Yami professional P-2200 and 1 P-2100. And Tuesday I’ll be adding one of each P2200-2100 to the stackGood afternoon
Here is a pic of my Bose 1801 and matching preamp. Just incase no one has seen this paring

I have my JBL L-100s and the JBL B460 sub hooked iinto a pair of Carver 4.0t. The L-100s are going at 375wpc and the Carver has been bridged for the 1000 watt Mono sub. The unit really sings!!Another vote for the big Pro Yamahas! You can get a PC2002M for short money and have more power than you are likely to ever need...

I don’t know, but I have a Yamaha MX-1000 rated at 260 watts @ 8ohm that will blow the fuses in 400 watt speakers, so I guess the amp is a bit under rated. But it is the best sounding amp I’ve ever had....
