TPL I will never consider. We used their 300-W amps for low-band at work, they'd oscillate unless we put in a second TR Relay with a 50-ohm dummy load, then they'd burn up. Not to mention, the 100-w ones we had were very dirty if we ran them above 35w or so. One brand I considered was Crescend

Follow your experience and conscience. Nobody builds an amplifier that will work forever, but Henry will always cover you if you are close to the warranty. Both purchase, quality, repair, and customer service have been excellent with Henry. Talk to Shorty K6JSI (Win System) about the TE
