Kelly, I thought I would do the same thing that you are compteplating about six months ago. Looked at various designs on the web, did some searching for parts, price checks, trying to find matched MOSFETS, the whole nine yards. Come to find out it was going to cost me more to build one than I could buy one for. Let me make a suggestion because I have heard the Newforms with this amp. Monarchy SE Class A Monoblock. I have the DELUX version which doubles into 4 ohm and 2 ohm and cost $1179. The Basic version does 160 watts into 4 ohm and is $890. I know this is a little above what you said but, they really seem to work with the ribbons very well. If you are going for five of them, I am sure you could get some knocked off the price if you haggle with them. If you would have bought them before April 1st you could have got them for $623 a piece. Still might be able to get them for that if you buy five. I don't normally push a piece of gear, but I know what these sound like with the Newform. If you care anything about music, these will make a difference. You by direct from them. The web site is below.
