x-force amps

Yes X-Force uses their "power pills", looks like they have the PP60 and PP100. If you want Toshibas you will pay a hefty upgrade fee. They seem to talk them up real good. I suppose they are better then the DEI finals and not as good as the Toshibas. Not sure if someone like HG(HuaGao) makes these for X-Force and re-stamps them or what?
From my research, if I bought an xforce amp with the new pills I wouldn't volt them or overdrive them. That's just my opinion though. I was looking at the tnt line for ssb. For the price I decided to hold off to get my ham license and get into better quality amps even if I "can't" run them on 11 meter. Good luck with your decision.
Edit: I don't mean to say that force is low quality at all. I'm just unsure of the new transistors and with the money spent I'd rather have more options. If I wasn't going another route, I would be buying a straight 4 pill tnt but that's my preference.

The tnt line by x force is biased and you can have bias added to the x force for an additional fee. I did look up wizard and from what I saw they are all tube. I remember hearing the name years ago but I can't remember opinions of them. I would guess they are good quality but I have to wonder what the wait time is.
Well tubes are an option but they have their positive and negative points as well. Certain tubes for older amplifiers are out of this world on price. Some are very hard to find and cost a fortune when you do. All you can do is research it and buy what fits your needs.
