They would be about the same price, what are the pluses and minuses of each. Say, for driving a pair of Magnepan MG12.

I guess the same question applies to the Insight 440H ($1899) vs. the Double 440 ($1875).

Ok so when I look at the amplifier section on the website, I do not see anything labeled as "double". What am I missing?

Good questions.  Actually the performance slightly favors the "double" models as these essentially have twice the output device die area of the standard units.  The "H" versions have 50 percent more die area than the standard units.

Of course the real killers are the "Double H" versions with three times the die area and current capacity as the standard Insight 260 and 440 models, probably the best you can find to drive really nasty low impedance loads.

Note that we have only had two cases of failed output mos-fets in any of the single die standard versions using the Exicon devices and those were both from extreme overdrive situations.

Best regards and have fun choosing.
