Question Linear Power amps

Anyone here have Linear Power amps ? Maybe thinking of building a system using these.

LP amps are way cool and there is a few people out there with impressive collections like the ones shown above.

That all said, Dukk back in the day replaced a couple of Alpine amps with brand new LP 5002 and 3002 amps. The car did not hit as well or go as loud as it did before. He redid the system and this time used then-new DSM Punch 60 and 40 amps (several hundred less watts than the LP's) and it sounded much cleaner and louder. Go figure.

Wow! Are those all from one person? Or do they belong to a shop somewhere . . .

Building that stereo would be like a woman choosing an outfit . . .

"Does this shade of blue match my subs; Hmm . . . how about 2 red ones for my woofers . . . and 2 purple ones for my mid-bass are to DIE for. I think I'll go gray for my mid-range, and black for my tweeters."

That's right. Although I love the cosmetics they were hands-down the worst audio investment I ever made.
