Hi Wayne, yes we had some early ones there. The present versions are far better. The originals were rather good, but the level of detail and "air" in the new ones is so much greater you would thing they are different amps. And as what would be obvious, they are really powerful. True to form, though, my belief in the first watt concept, they are quite clean at lower power levels. They just cross the 1% distortion level at 25 watts RMS. Not to bad for a class A design. There is nearly 25 more on tap to keep your speakers busy.
The amp you tried at LSAF was a Poddwatt. I only rate them at 5 watts per channel, but they are really nice sounding watts. We will be bringing one or more of them this year.
