from Manufacturer Summary:
Pair of Black solid state mono blocks shaped in the design of a hibachi grill. They weigh 17 # each and are capable of 200 watts per channel. After pushing my Vandys for several hours they are only warm to the touch. They are shiny black and beautiful to look at. I have the following equipment: Eastern Electric CD, Vandy 2CE sigs, TAD subs, Tad 150 tube preamp, upgraded power cords and ICs. Together with the TAD preamp they sound more warm and tubey than other solid state amps I have had on this system. I had a McCormack DNA-1, a B&K 4220, A B&k 140 , and a TAD 60. This amp is basically in another league by itself compared to the other amps listed. They have plenty of punch to push my Vandys which are 86DB efficient. The soundsatage is basically three dimensional and spreads out from speaker to speaker. I generally listen to poorly recorded classic rock and this system can spread out most of my CDs and make them listenable. The owner of Tube Audio Design provides unmatched customer service and exhibits a passion about his business. Strengths:
Tubey powerful sound, low heat, lightweight, nice to look at, quiet, excellent customer service.. Weaknesses:
A bit confusing on hooking up to pre amp only because these are the first monos I have had. Owner very helpful though. Similar Products Used:
TAD 60 McCormack DNA-1, B&k 140, 4220, Apt Holman Amp.
