I'm not so sure. Just the rumor of a big Elecraft amp had some people (including me) quite interested. In fact, based on some of the pictures, Elecraft had some interest in the past.
Amps are not evil and I also don't think they are incompatible - technically or philosophically - with Elecraft. I value skill, intelligence, cunning and brute force when necessary. If ever Elecraft comes out with a legal limit amp I'd be asking the boss for OT.
