RE: Well, forget the 2105 then...what about Heathkit W-7's?

Definitely the W5ms are better the W7s...Here is what is you need to do..If your W5ms are totally recapped even with standard caps,it still makes the price go up somewhat..If they are real nice shape and have the original Genelex tubes,that pushes up the price a bit more..The 2105 is a nice amp when set up right in spite of what some say..I don't like it as well sonically as the W5s but with the right preamp,it can be very good..Look the condition of the 2105 and compare that to your amps..If the W5s were more rare,I would absolutely say the W5m but since you don't use them because of lack of power,the 2105 might better suit your needs.
