A. Particularly near the end in 1983-1984 other transformer manufacturers (Drake and Sowter) were used. We think these Biacrowns all sound great, and just as “HIWATT-like” as the older models. Note that Harry Joyce used Drake transformers in the highly regarded Hiwatt-like amps he produced in the early 90s.
