Any news on the x amp. Was also curious if the integrated could be used with a tube pre amp or will it not have pre amp outs.

If not any ideas on the size of the monoblock Xs?

Sorry I missed this :(

Nothing I can report yet but I do have prototypes here ;)

Here is a shot of prototype #1 powering a RS450 loudspeaker...



Yes, it is on a piece of wood.  I did say it is a prototype ;)  Anyway, the larger part is a custom designed power factor correction power supply and the small board is a 150 wpc amp.  I have a new version of the PS coming this week (hopefully final version) and I have a new chip for the amp that should bump us up to around 200 wpc.

No ETA on these - we will release a date once we are a bit closer to completion.

Sorry, no pre outs.  We would like to include full range and high passed speaker outs along with a line out for a sub and at least two inputs so we are out of room for pre outs ;)  I guess you will have to get two of the x-amp monoblocks instead :D

ROUGH dims are 4.5" W x 2.5" H x 17" D

Hope that helps!
