    Where are you located I can potentially send you sample units to try in 3 to 4 weeks.
    That is very kind of you, but my speakers present a very difficult load to the amplifier (varying over an impedance range of 30 Ohm to 1.5 Ohm), so I don't think your amplifiers would suit.

    Thanks anyway for the offer.

    I have Magneplanar 1.7 speakers which present a much more difficult load than the QUADS. I can strongly recommend the NuPrime STA-9 power amp. I use a pair of these in mono mode which output just under 300w. They provide a vice like grip on the Maggies with a very smooth tube-like sound. NuPrime have recently introduced a slightly lower powered model (the STA-6), which I am sure would be great with the QUADS.

    I have a friend with the Magnapan 1.7i speaker, BOSC had no issues with those.

    A pair of these is on their way to Oli for evaluation.

    Also if you are interested I posted the latest performance measurements here:

    Yes they are!

    I'm looking to give these a thorough test as it'll be a first in depth Class D experience for me other than a ICE derived power amp I tried for 10 minutes, which wasn't as impressive as I'd have liked.

    I have driven my '57's with 3 different class D amps without any problem Barry.

    An awesome review for the BOSC amp:

    "Class-D amplifiers generally trigger reactions and opinions of a generic, mass-market sound. And I’ll admit, I tend to not be too curious about anything based around that amplification method. But Leonid (Leo) Ayzenshtat’s Class-D amplifiers continually force me to think differently. They prove that it isn’t about the type of thing, but rather about how skillfully a thing is made."

    "I wanted to stop my heart so I could hear the music better. I was being sucked in, pushed out, and unable to focus on anything else but the music. There were all the little bird-like chimes, dancing between clicks and pings and bongs of xylophone harmonics with dry reed raspy sounds zooming in and out, floating on top of deep rolling strings and organ-like bass. I didn’t want to miss a moment of it."
