[Boatanchors] RE: Here is where all the 211's are going

[Kenneth D. Grimm, K4XL]

"High End Audio" is definitely where the money is!
That's why Denny Had ( Dentron ) quit making RF Amplifiers for tightwad 
hams and went into the AF Amplifier business.

Check out the MSRP on this little 15 watt per channel amp
http://www.commandav.com/cary/cary_audio_300sei.html
and you will understand why Dentron is no more.

The demand for this stuff is obviously growing as can be seen in the 
"About Carey Audio" write up on Denny's new web site.
