Yes and there are actually two pair for sale on Agon right now.  These are the finest amps I have ever owned.  Luckily for me the VK500 is putting out 450 wpc with my 4 ohm speakers and it really doesn't get THAT hot.  I like this amp as it is really monoblocks inside a single chassis - two plugs, two transformers, two separate circuits, two on-off buttons.
