Need a 36 month loan from JP Morgan to bring this thing home
Too heavy for Santa sleigh

She’s a beast.

ClassAB surprisingly. Roughly 8% in class A (about 100 watts)

No listed price?

If you have to ask…

(only 50k)

Needs two 15-amp cords:

Those are the CHEAP ones, the Mono blocks are 75000 each

Jeez....

 

[J!m]

Takes dual mono to the extreme. One power cord per channel. Each feeds it’s own torroidal.

I’m just surprised it’s AB. Especially for a “no compromise…not built to a price point” amp.

The two-mode damping seems interesting.

Can mosfets be run class A high power??

 

[Skratch]

An amp that large running in class A would heat your house. I had a Yamaha M-85 and when I ran it in Class A it would heat the room

 

[J!m]

I think 40 mosfets could run class A. If one can, 100 can, right?

Yes it would heat the house. Probably the garage too. But if it was water cooled, it could generate steam for a turbine and power itself partially. Once the installation is done 50k for the amp is not much of the total budget…

Insane. But who am I to talk.
