I think the Ib is from their early days. Seems after the 1st gen they just did not maintain the same level of engineering, parts and, production. I loved their 1st gen product line and the first 2 nixie readout tuners. I thought of the company as a one season wonder.

Wasn't Jim Bongiorno one of the designers of the early SAE amps before he founded GAS?
Will anyone here shed some light on this?
Cheers,

That is my understanding too. (See link.)

Oh well... I was expecting more comments over an amplifier that apparently sold like warm bread in the USA...
I confirm that the Mk XXXIB power amp was designed by J.Bongiorno and was apparently the template for many SAE amplifiers that followed.
Anyways I bought the thing, should arrive within a week, I'll see by myself how it sounds. And I'll post comments :)
The most popular was not always the best. SAE and J.Bongiorno do have their fans.
