Thanks jedrider and AbeCollins for the replies.
In another life, I am a data analyst, so my instinct still tells me that if we had a graph/statistical models showing cost as a function of age + power + 8/4 ohm ratio + ??? that we'd actually learn something about what amps were good investments. I wish online auctions would let me scrape data from their site as I could make all of this work in real time...
That said...after more reading, I've been scared off from buying older very high qualtiy amps (almost went for a Levinson Proceed Amp 5, until I saw so many posts on failures and the cost to repair a 130 lb. amp.
Anyways, thanks again for the advice! I'll keep looking, but leaning toward a new emotiva.
