I don't know how they can completely ignore Sunn in this story - instead giving Ampeg the credit for finally achieving enough power in a tube amp (and saying the B-15 did it - it didn't - that's a pretty low power amp that was a studio staple not so much live). This was the reason Sunn Amps was created - the first one was built for Conrad's brother (bassist in The Kingsmen) who complained about lack of power. It grew into a proper company when other players noticed and wanted one too.
Also trying to compare a Class D amp to a tube amp merely in terms of wattage spec and weight is hilarious and demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge re the strengths and weaknesses of both. I'm no solid state hater but that's apples and oranges.
