Sorry for the late reply. I'm still trying to get caught up from CES and the holidays.I am currenty working on a new design that will replace the Apollos. Power output will be 15 to 18 watts.
As Chris mentioned, it's generally not possible to just convert an existing design to one with higher power. This is due to the fact that limitations, such as output transformer power capability, driver stage voltage swing and so on, of the exisiting design, prevents the transformation. To make a 300BXLS Laurel would therefore require different power and output transformers plus a modified driver stage and thus it would really no longer be a Laurel.
While I generally do not design to a price-point this new amp IS being designed with one eye on the price because the Apollos were discontinued due their high price tag.
Availability is scheduled for late Summer.
