[Naim101]

Check them out. Ordering me a pair of Monoblocks next week. Seems like every reviewer that reviews them either end up buying the unit or giving it an award. Will leave impression once i have them in.

Im ordering the 55p monos. From all the reviews they say the 25p runs better than some 150 wpc amps even with just 25wpc.

There is only abput $130.00 difference between 25p and 55p so Im just gonna get these just incase.. still under $1,200.00 shipped!

Do you know what class these amps operate in?

 

[Naim101]

I called the us dealer and they said they will call me back in about an hour. I will find out.
So far I know its 55 wpc and has about 30 gain.
One of the reviwers ran it with harbeths and bought them lol.

Will keep posted.

Cool!

I'm thinking about buying the 25pm for my Strads.

Seems like a fun amp.

6 Moons compared the amps to the Job 225 in the review of the Job Pre2. I'm sticking with the Job! ; )

 

[Naim101]

He does mention the Job 225 is quicker than the 55P monoblocks but conclude that it will be a matter of preference in the end between the two (if its based on just amps/if both were used with Job Pre2). I cant see how a stereo amp will have better seperation and soundstage than mono's..considering Clone monoblocks shipped is $500.00 less than the Job 225, i think its still a bargain.

I have Job 225, so ill do a comparison when the 55P's come in. Itll atleast hold me along until Job release their Monos.

It seems to be another gainclone variant.

Personally, I find the Audio Sector Patek more elegant in design and execution:

DIY Chip Amplifier Kits, PCB's, Components and Information.

And they offen an integrated, too (@ $1150).

Joe, any update on the amp?
