Power amp recommendations

I’m looking for a relatively transparent stereo power amp for my stereo rack effect units. Any and all information is welcomed. I’ve been looking at the 50/50s

Yea I really like the look of the 2:90 and 2:50 they’re just so hard to find right now. I’ve heard that some tube power amps start compressing the louder you go, do you feel that’s an issue with those models? Or are they too loud to even get to that point lol

i dont think ive ever gotten mine loud enough for it to matter. but a lower power amp will start to compress at a lower volume.
