Thank you for your help.

I "downgraded" from a Croft/Copland set up to a Prologue 2 - I've been
very happy with it. It's quiet powerful (ie drives Esl 63s & LS5/9
easily) but I would recommend changing the valves, the stock ones are
pretty poor. The great thing about this is that you can use many types
of power valves and it stays happy - I currently use mullard 82 & 83
and GE 7581/KT66 - REAL KT88s are stupid money.



Having seen inside a burnt out one (nasty), I'd have thought it was hard
to
downgrade *from* a Copland....



Oh they must all be **** then?



Good point - perhaps they pulled the one I saw off the production line and
gave it special *crude/flimsy internals* treatment...??

All 'top show' poncey fascia with no knickers, like a cheap (and I mean
cheap) kit amp:

- far worse than the Chinese amp innards I've seen to date....
