Re: Bakoon 13r amazing little amp.
I had the Bakoon 13r on loan for a week or so, powering my Avantgarde speakers. My thoughts were that it sounded pretty good but I didn't like the rear panel sockets (should be “paired") and I didn't like the immense heat it generated. All things considered, I preferred alternative amps from the dozen I home trailed. I’m afraid its cuteness didn’t make it a winner in my book.

Re: Bakoon 13r amazing little amp.
Are there other folks that have tried this? I don’t mind “downsizing” on electronics and going a little more up the ladder on high efficiency drivers.

Re: Bakoon 13r amazing little amp.
Thanks Mike. As mentioned by Peter, the footprint makes it attractive (didnt suit his need) but also the circuitry that seems to be written as an interesting feature.
Assuming these are a form of class D amplification but not Putzey influenced?
I emailed enleum on the west coast to see if I can arrange a home demo since, if applicable, return shipping on something like this wont be too big a deal._______________

Judging by the ferocious temperature the 13r reaches, I'd say definitely not Class D, more like Class A.

Re: Bakoon 13r amazing little amp.
They have a 65w version coming. We think these will be great with AG and Fyne.

Re: Bakoon 13r amazing little amp.
Thanks for sharing info gents. Is the 41 and 51R ‘older’ amps/circuitry? I’m guessing maybe the 41 is the oldest with the ‘R’ moniker?

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
