Power Amp question

holy crap those are expensive
 
They are a little pricier since the earlier days when I bought mine, but you could blind test them next to amps costing crazy coin, e.g chuck a zero or two on the end, they'll stand their ground and some, if not often beat the more expensive amp.
Way I see it is 'esoteric' type results for high end DIY price..

You're in for a treat. They were the best I could find for large DVC sub duty, let alone normal monoblock use, I looked at everything on the market. Gold tracked PCBs, CEO of a high end German laser manufacturer I showed them to, opened his eyes quite wide... no cheap crap or corner cutting here. Makes my Arcams look like Chinese crap. Seen tests done with the most esoteric high end amps vs these and the aussie stuff take the win. More about quality design/components than flashy exterior bling. I will be buying some more in the near future.

Had some custom Avel Lindbergs toroids wound for me, 12.5kg each, 1200VA with 1400VA cores to reduce magnetostriction and noise - same trick Krell uses ;)


Some more monos, sub build complete, a Burson DAC and some 801Ds will finish the rig off for me, for another 10 years!

Dude those are impressive boards no doubt but those costs put them out of my bounds. I won't say anything bad about those but I'm going to look else where.
 
I got mine in, huge improvement and with no attempt at proper placement yet. Haven't hooked up my sub to see if it really improves or not (what I have is good for my size of room but has no punch) but the opening to Star Wars Episode 3 fills the entire house. I can for sure take advantage of an improved 2-channel amp so this will for sure be a buy in the future. For now I need to find a way to extend my RCA, my current one is 5 inches too short to where I want to move my sub :D.

For now they get loud enough, very impressed. Movies an instant improvement and music is much better too.
