Thanks for your input. The Marantz 2325 is a 125 WPC boat anchor from about 1973 and the 2285B is an 85 WPC unit from about 1977-78. The 2285B had much better sound quality due to it's dual mono power/dual secondary supply design. Both have very nice sound quality and are pretty powerful. The Tandberg 3012 is a whole different beast. It is a 100 WPC mosfet output dual mono amp with a torroidal power transformer. It is also a direct coupled servoed design so there are minimal caps in the signal path. It is a very nice sounding amp and works very well for driving low impedance cans. I was interested in the Little Dot amp as the rest of my audio system is virtually all tube based. I was hoping to get some of the good tube qualities without sacrificing too much dynamic control. For it's price the Little Dot Mark IV seemed to be the ticket from what I've read so far.
