There must be some sweet spot of knowledge that could be briefly reviewed to help those of us who have never owned or considered a solid state amp and are old school and not EE.. I just sold my pair of 4-1000's (clean, linear, hot, noisy, beautiful to own) and now just have the KPA 500. So I am curious:
1. What are the merits of the chosen power transistors vs. alternates on market? 2. Why two big power transistors rather than 6 smaller? 3. Have the "advantages" of tube amps been overcome at this point? what are the specs that illustrate the advantages or equivalency. Perhaps rather than bogging down the reflector, an article might be offered that captures the questions and answers of comparison between tubes and transistors and among the solid state options on the market. I am very interested in this new, beautiful KPA 1500!
