From the AVA website; "The FVA1 is a differential (i.e., "bridged") monoblock amplifier where each side of the amp consists of a tube input stage (using a ECC83/12AX7A dual triode tube), a high-performance class AB solid-state output stage, and the necessary coupling and feedback circuitry between them that lets everything work at its best."

This is great news since it'll make it easy to find replacement tubes and at 150 watt per channel, should be able to easily drive most speakers

Where is this on the AVA website? I'm not finding it.

Hmmm, I wonder what the Dac V2 differences are?

[Tone Depth]

True to AVA's MO, differences between the new and old DVA Digital Preamplifier DACs aren't apparent from the specs. I do see DSD 256 doesn't appear to be supported by the new DAC, unless there is a typo there.

The hybrid mono amp may differ from the previous FET-Valve stereo amp by more than just its power output rating, since that is a significantly older design. I don't see resistance ratings, hopefully 8 & 4 Ohms, maybe due to certification status.

I'm sure more info is forthcoming, either from AVA and/or reviews. Regardless, I expect the new units will sound wonderful and are not just re-named previous models.

Well at $5000/pair this is not a small purchase.  I run 3 AVA DVM750 monos.  Left,Center,Right.  Might be fun to purchase a pair of the FVAs and see how they compare with the 750s👀.  My wife is going to be pissed.🤦🏼‍♂️😇
