Yeah, yeah. Look at how so cool it looks. Totally retro, Marantz, maybe early Citation. EL34 output tubes. I'll bet tube rolling's a blast with it. Got to get the speakers with the wheat grills, just like the old AR's & KLH.
I'll be it sounds so sweet.
Damn, I wish I had money for toys.

Actually it has EL84 output tubes. Also paper cones in a bamboo cabinet does not sound very much like an LS3/5A to me. However, that does not mean it is not a great sounding unit. I sure someone on the Asylum will give it a try and post. It does look interesting, and if they designed it properly, the price is very reasonable.

I agree. 90db sensitivity doesn't sound like the LS3/5A either. Maybe they just mean it has the same mid-bass hump.
I think it is more like a nod to the LS35A as setting the standard for small monitors.
I would like to see the amp topless to see what transformers and components they are using.... I like the looks and the modern functions of it too.
Hi,
I hope I am not breaking any rulesby posting a link to another discussion site.
A discussion of the design, including a fair few photos and info on the design itself is over at Head-Fi:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/753978/
There are some reviews, including ones with extensive picture features. But the unit is still very new and went for a soft launch, so it will take some time. One for example (originally from Poland) is here:

More will be coming. Any questions, please either post at our Facebook page, at HeadFi or with an e-mail via our website.
BTW, I am using it myself and yes, I had a hand in designing this:

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
You freak, and a Bottlehead @ that.

hahaha!! Well,since you put it that way, my prefence would be bottomless!
I need to update my profile!
I had to get rid of a large protion of my old gear, divorces are not cheap!
I sold my Paramours, and I wished I hadn't. The guy ended up flipping them, saying, "they didn't sound good". My guess he probably used them with some 87db speakers.
I am slowly building up another system, I tend to enjoy "building up from scratch", and applying the things I have learned!
