I'm in. I'd post a photo, but I've only got two under my SF Vox center in a Salamander double-wide (I'm in Georgia after all) and Tom just puts it to shame with his triple-wide.

I'll post some photos in upcoming days. The tubes have been breaking in nicely, and while I won't re-hash what others have written, the sound is just wonderfully engaging.

Thanks to Dan, Ivan, Tom and others for advice as I made the decision to buy these. Definitely "amps for life".

Guess I missed your MC2301 acquisition Paul. Congrats Sir. Those SF's will sing nicely.

Paul - when will you post a panorama shot of your four SF Amati Futuras? Another three MC 2301’s would really pull the room together.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum generally and definitely a big fan of the 2301's. This site helped guide me to these awesome amps.
