    there is only one choice...the choice you have now.
    my philosophy has always been to use a single brand of amp. they all have identical gain structure and sonic characteristics throughout.
    my advice to the guy with the badest rig, ever in a house...keep it pure.

    Well, some great input guys.

    I must tell you I was shocked to get a PM yesterday from a member that has a Boulder 500AE and he was willing to part with it. I do believe I will go that route and the whole system will be Boulder powered. Now, how do I get this around Julie.......I am dead meat

    Very simple! You take Julie to the jewelers, and buy her a something equally nice, and expensive!

    Maybe a nice diamond bracelet!

    Maybe you have a friend that is a jeweler, and you could trade watts for Karats?

    One issue

    The Boulder 500AE is only 250 watts a side at 4 ohms. I don't play at real high SPL's. The ideal scenario would be 2 500AE's strapped mono.

    Ken,

    What are the other amp ratings you are using?

    Ian

    The 102AE's are only 60 watts a side at 8 ohms
    The 250AE's are 75
    The 500AE is 150

    Boulder tells me they are seriously under rated.
