Ten Tec Titan Amplifier

Titan Amplifier (1500w), 160-10 (including WARC), 60-80w in for 1500 out, 50-65% eff., Two 3CX800A7 tubes, 220 VAC

Complete Spec Sheet here

This amplifier runs a pair of 3CX800 tubes to a cool 1500 watts output.  When I ran this amp you have to be careful you are in resonance before applying full power or you may experience arcing in the output capacitor.  I liked this amp because it is a two piece unit with a very lightweight console with all the RF parts and a 50-60# power supply that sits up to 8 feet away (usually under the operating position).  The fan on mine had two speeds (export model) and was very quiet.  Has full output on all bands with two separate band switch positions for 160 (160A and 160B).

Here are some of the setting and power output per my unit:
