My friend owns two of the 70's. You would be surprised what amps that thing beat. According to Arthur Salvatore; "A reader reminded me of this amplifier. I was never an Amber dealer, but I had a few of them come in as trades during the 1980's. They were unusually natural sounding, while also retaining a good amount of detail. The frequency extremes were pretty decent also. They're relatively old now, so be careful of the condition. They were well built, with a good power supply, and should be able to drive most speakers made today with no problem, including those that require some current. I don't know what a reasonable price would be, but I would guess a few hundred dollars, unless you really score. An excellent choice for a first amplifier."
