JUST PUT A XFORMER ON IT .......
I remember when Altec's Bart Locanthi while doing a stint at JBL
developed the first directly coupled complementary symmetry amp SE 400....
It was a sold state map that WAS clean, not like Hafler's ST-120.
( that would be a dynaco)
Everyone else used output transformers, certainly the tube guys.
Transformers did stuff to the sound, nice smoothing harmonic
distortion. Different sound.
I believe that MANY products that are sold under controlled
circumstances, such as McIntosh & Bose, with discounting not just
frowned upon, but enforced , are able to keep the "street" image up
high, along with the profit margins and commissions.
Take a look whose pushing biodegradble dioxified audio cables.
Those things don't even have trans-fats!!!! But WOW,,, if I am to
impress my neighbors I need speakers that my local audio esoteric
emporium sells.
Not those overdistributed JBLs from Best Buy. esoteric= hi profit margins
Monstercable in the 80s introduced super premium computer cables, but
the new market could not absorb that 'concept'. I think he ( Noel) is
back and now successful with the line. Do they make a 1 a better 1 ???
I just can't appreciate the HiFi SSB either.
hi ken ( ex sales mgr at JBL Pro) hihi....I know he's here, and enjoying this.

You really should know. I repeat....know... hands down....tube
amplifiers are the big winner in seeking esoteric audio
reproduction. McIntosh brings big bucks for a reason. Solid state
just can't do what tubes can. Solid state feels harsh, sounds harsh.
Tubes bring reality to audio reproduction. Warmth...
