Tube amps have almost always had a warmer, more natural ability to reproduce mids and highs.
Power hungry bass seems to be better handled by solid state amps.
My dream system was always a combo of tubed, for mids on up and a killer solid state for the bass.
This, of course, may sound like mis-matched crapola though

This new Blue series seems to be even better but I have the same car and still don't have the room.
Those Butler home amps look really sweet. 4 OHM stable WOW!
If only I had that kind of money.

Their best plug for me is that the Pink Floyd crew prefer them. Those blokes are fanatic about sound quality.

OK, here you go:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
I hope someone here buys these.
They are going cheap right now but I'll bet they won't be cheap for long. These were the 2 amps I was wanting to buy 9 years ago but as you can see, they're big and just won't fit in a '65 vert storage well.
Couple those to that Panasonic tube receiver and someone will be living the High Life!
Scott: I never heared of a Sammy Hagar series. What year was that?
Edit; I found it. It was a Mark Anthony amp.

And it won't fit either.
