the design is the result of a couple of hours fumbling my way through corel Draw software
think i could get the front aluminium panel milled for similar cost, though i like the walnut

the sound really is quite effortless, considering the power supply its not that surprising

a very very brief listen with the monos last fri in comparison to the stereo prototype, its clear that the monos are livelier, a little quieter and superior channel separation
thats probably just a mono thing

I got a chance to hear these amps yesterday and they really are something special. Loads of space around instruments and voices. The music is delivered effortlessly and presented with such imagery you really do feel as if its being performed live in front of you.
The speakers play no small part in this delivery, the mono blocs work extremely well with them and they really are a marriage made in hifi heaven. Well done lads. Very impressive.

Not as such. No a-b test was done but inevitably the monos were compared with every amp we've ever heard! They did well too!
