My first was a Bogen tube monophonic.
My second was a JBL SA-600 in the late 60s (for around $600). I Googled this, and apparently they're selling used for around $5,500 today (mostly in Japan?)!
"The beautifully styled JBL SA-600 amplifier was launched by the James B. Lansing company in 1966, and Bart Locanthi (the designer) wrote the technical article linked to at the bottom of this write-up in January 1967. I’ve included this in the hifisonix power amplifier library because it is one of the earliest – if not the earliest – example of a commercial amplifier that addressed the potential for TIM/SID and that of Large Signal Non-linearity (LSN)."
I then went to separates before buying a Gryphon Diablo 300.
