All LTD manufactured SAE equalizers and SAE preamp-equalizers are identifiable by the \"Copyright LTD 19XX\" on every circuit board except the Mark 1B. Along the way, Morris was joined by the likes of the great Ed Miller and James Bongiorno, to name just a couple. Morris sold SAE, Inc. in 1988 to a company that in turn sold it to DAC. They were trying to reach the masses and had the SAE TWO line built overseas. It was the beginning of the end for the SAE banner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Bongiorno\u003c\/strong\u003e started GAS (Great American Sound) which also built some classic amps, like the Ampzilla \u0026amp; Grandson. Bongiorno sold GAS and started a third company, Sumo, and designed still more classic amps, and a tuner called Charlie the Tuner. Then in June of 1994 Morris Kessler and Mike Pontelle joined under the banner of Amplifier Technologies, Inc. ( ATI ) .\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor almost two decades, SAE made some of the best known home audio amplifiers. In the early Seventies, if one wanted the best in solid-state amplification, SAE came to mind. Known then internationally as purveyors of open and musical products, SAE lingers in the minds of audiophiles old enough to remember as a company that really produced. These amps were so popular, they took Japan by storm way before single-ended tube amps became retro-cool in the land of the rising Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAE's most powerful amplifier, the 2600 is designed for sound reinforcement applications and high power home environments. Clean, dynamic reproduction is assured with our high slew rate and low distortion. Whenever you need flawless reproduction at the highest possible levels, the SAE 2600 your ultimate answer. The gusto this amp has is incredible. We are using it to power a set of Magnepan MB20 (a ruthlessly tough load) and this amp tosses them around without breaking a sweat. A spectacular power partner for sure.
