[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 58671, member: 807"] The circuitry is almost exactly the same as that in the AG9014 - the predecessor of the 9015. The 9015 was 'improved' or degraded - depending on your tastes - in that it had output transformers. A weird move, since the point of the "series balanced output" was to eliminate all the disadvantages of the transformer. Inside mine are two monoblock power amp chassis and a separate pre-amp chassis - thats why the case is so huge. Both this one and the 9015 use EL86 pentodes which was developed specifically to drive 800 ohm speakers directly. Fortunately I have a pair of those. Yes, it works, and it sounds amazing! [/QUOTE]
