[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 883895, member: 1342"] Okay, so it's basically a Class-A biased (up to 10W) 20W power amp based on some fancy new kind of "constant transconductance" circuit. Afaik this circuit design was first used in the output stage of the new(ish) Lyr III. So this is Schiit's take on the low-powered, solid-state amp niche that First Watt, Valvet and others are playing in. Which I think is smart. [i]Everyone[/i] is trying to make the latest, greatest, high-power amp to drive the majority of speakers of the world. Other than the valve amp (esp. SET) manufacturers, not a lot brands are catering to high-efficiency speaker crowd. And generally not at this price level. First Watt amps are $3000 up. At $799 projected, this could be a game-changer. [/QUOTE]
