assistant: Heh i'll think it'll be cool to have a set of tube amps in a car for he
  Mids/highs.. well the amps i'm talking about are in the Feb. '95  and
  they are in a BMW 540 =] ahh here's what they are=] Milbert BAM-230 but
  th guy does have a Transistor amp for the subs.. a zapco =]but he used
  like alot of more home audio stuff then car <besides the
  cd-player/changer, ect =) > like he also used B&W's silver signature
  series tweets, and mids/subs from B&W 801 speakers.. gives yah the idea
  that someone likes high-end house equipment =)
heh a tube driven home theater system? Only in my dreams =) but that would
be pretty cool..   heh yah winning a lottery would be so great.. hmm to bad
i couldn't win the 10 mill from or last lottery up here=] WOO what i could
buy for that =]   I knwo you can get tube pre-amps and amps.. but can you
get tube Sound processors <surround, ect> ??
heh well i liked this one Denon AVR2500 <solid state> Receiver.. it's
cool.. but for $1600 <cdn> and only like 3x85 watts + 2x25 watts heh but
you can do alot with it..  hmm i dont' knwo of a local dealer here on tube
amps.. Mostly maybe becuase i'm too scare to go in there and have a
heartattack at my young age =)  Also i need to find a place that sells
Warfedales.. I love those speakers=) heh well least my parents.. they have
a set of E70's which hey got in like '80 <??> and they are STILL going
