I just received this from NuFORCE today:

NuForce introduced its first product, the Reference 8 V1 mono power amplifier, at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show. As a timely reminder of our initial amp's remarkable technology, we have reconfigured a limited number of Ref 8s with our latest V3 Power Amp Module. With its 200-watt switching power supply, compact size and four-pound weight, the Ref 8 V3 is the world's uncontested lightweight champ

Pricing and Availability

The suggested retail price of the Reference 8V3 is $1600/pair.  For more information check with your Nuforce Dealer.

Specifications

   * Configuration: Mono Input: RCA

   * Power output (see Power FAQ)     
      Power/Load                 8 ohm    4 ohm     2 ohm
      Peak Power
      (20 msec hold time)    200W      200W      200W
      RMS Power                  150W     200W      200W

*RMS power denotes maximum continuous power. Peak power denotes an instantaneous power boost. Note that typical listening normally requires about 15W of power. These high power amplifiers provide more than sufficient power for just about any speakers on the market.

   * Frequency Response: 20 Hz -0.3 dB - 120 kHz -3 dB
   * THD+N = 0.01%, 1kHz, 1W to 10W, A Weighted.
   * Input impedance: 22K ohm
   * Input sensitivity = 252mV, 1W @ 8 Ohm; 2.57V, 100W @ 8 Ohm; 1.81V, 100W @ 4 Ohm
   * Gain: 21 db
   * SNR > 100 db at 100W
   * Cardas binding post
   * Chassis is made of high-grade anodized brushed aluminum to reduce audio resonance
   * Dimension: 8.5" x 14" x 2"
   * Worldwide AC voltage (84VAC to 264VAC). No need for AC regulator if the AC voltage falls within the specified range.
   * Weight: 4 lbs
   * AC Fuse: Slow blow, 5A, 250VAC

Ref8 V3 comes in black and silver faceplate.
