Old ones sucked

as they used first generation Fairchild op amps and used boatloads of corrective feedback. Great for subwoofer use but exhibited a hard, closed in top end.

They are however, incredibly reliable. I owned a D-150 in my teenage years and once inadvertently shorted the outputs with a screwdriver while it was powered up. It lightly fused the screwdriver to a terminal and shut down. I powered it off, yanked the screwdriver off and powered it back up.

No problemo!
