Beautiful reproduction of whispers and other soft sounds UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME NICE EFFICIENT SPEAKERS.

The first watt is the deepest, baby i know! the first watt is the cheapest....

I like the concept... what are you choosing 2nd order or third order distortion?

After all that .... could anybody give a reference to where the schematic could be found? All I could get from in between the usuall promotional fodder is half a diagram (input stage) and some distortion graphs. Must still have to learn a lot of googling skills, I fancy.

Nelson pass's f4 and f5 is legendary under diy audio.

I like the idea of a bridged f5's per channel more than a plain one though.

here is the f5 thread with LOTS of information:

i was VERY VERY close to building a bridged design when I opted for the ksa 50 build I posted in this forum.

Over at DIYaudio they are selling boards too:

14 euro for a stereo pair

I thought about it for some time...

I thought of the paradime shift going bonkers about some big high effecncy transmission line loudpeakers... 

Maybe Vandersteen 1C's would work with F5?

Cant be that $$$$ - even naked boards with only the tinned copper tracks will be fine.
