[Boatanchors] B&W 425 LPF?

[rbethman]

Carl,

I live too close to folks that do significant monitoring.  I'd rather 
run a "castrated KW" than nothing at all!  A couple of us DID have a 
line on the Army 5KW amps made for the BC-610s.....

(Considering today's electric bills, don't think I'd run it even IF I 
snared one!)
