Amplifier kits?

[Curtin, Steven D (Steven)]

Hello and speaking of amplifiers -

Does anybody make amplifier kits any more, sort of like what Heathkit did?
I have a 15" speaker cabinet that I junk-picked a couple of years ago (the
speaker itself is kicked in), and would like to use it as part of a bass
amp.  PAiA seems to have some good candidates for the preamp, but what about
the 60-100 watt part of it?  A casual search on Google has turned up some
tube amp kits from World Audio and TNT Audio in England, any others out
there?   I understand that an instrument amplifier (particularly bass) has
to be more rugged and able to take sustained wide range transients than your
basic hi-fi amp.
