For some reason, I'm reminded of a 20 year old Lexus...in the same colour scheme.
Nah. You'd never fit all that lot in the dashboard.

My favourite is the Elekit 22, although its not listed I also like the Gato 150 AE amp and I would like even more if they removed the central gauge.

Thanks! Can I have some for live sound please?
Oops, yes of course, provided they go up to eleven..

I never understood why amps needed meters as you can either hear the music or not, VU meters on cassette decks, yup, signal strength for tuners, check, but amps.
Eleven? Volume controls may go to eleven but meters go to +10db before they go into the red.
