Thank you all for the warm welcome!!! Friendly community.
Welcome and congrats, GZ.
Indeed, the KPA does have a lot of strengths. It'll be interesting to see if you eventually ditch the amps; you wouldn't be the first. The usual route for tube die-hards is to run both for a while and then let the real amps go, but some retain at least a single amp either 'cause they have the available space or for occasional playing and / or nostalgic reasons.
I had already began fantasizing about trimming the fat. Of course, I suppose time will tell. I have already begun cataloging my amps, of which I have 14 of - if my 7 AM math is correct.
I love to design and build amps though so it will never leave me, but it will be interesting to build unique amps for profiling.
