    That's pretty affordable if you ask me. But I'm curious to see the results as well. *subscribed*

    If I had the money, this amp would be on my very short list to try out.
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    I believe these amps are hybris ss and tube amps. I have heard good things about them but never demo'd them. I think Antique Sound Labs make small affordable tube monoblocks. Check out audioadvisor.com, they used to carry them.

    They are Hybrid, it's still sand power at the end of the day.
