Is this the one what? Yes, it is one of the amps I own. The others are a pair of Wall Audio M50s and the last is a Pure Sound A30 for the TV system.
There used to be a good review on the internet in Polish that had nice measurements but it seems to be now deactivated (it was from about 2000 or 2001). I wish now I had downloaded the .pdf and saved it. The amp makes it to 15 watts (in either 4 or 8 ohm tap when load is matched) with 1% THD. The frequency response was flat to 20Khz and down 3db at 35Khz. The harmonic pattern at 1 watt and 1Khz looks quite good as well with decreasing distortion with increasing harmonic number with nothing much beyond 6th.
A greek magazine has some basic measurements like THD and frequency response that agree with the Polish magazine.
The amp made a lot of noise in 2000, winning a major design award, but like all things time passes on and people tend to forget. It is a very good sounding amp, well designed and using very good parts...especially the output transformers. Is it SOTA? No, but it is getting close for reasonable money.
