I actually have the guts out of a 1965 d-390, which is supposedly 50wpc, 15 tubes and 4 germanium output transistors. I have it sounding probably as good it can sound, but I'm looking for a class ab or d option to replace it, and not counting the phono preamp, I was wondering what it's modern equivalent would be.

Sad to read that Fisher succumbed to grim class B so early.
I have fond memories of one of their valve amps.
