I just recently discoverd AV123 because of Gonks pre-amp comparison site (BTW very cool Gonk). I am looking at the LMC-1 because of its price, a pre/amp for that price is awesome. They also have a very nice build quality look. I was also impressed by their amp. But it costs more than the equivalent Outaw (770) and in a review I saw it only reached 175W without clipping, not the rated 200W. Its too bad Outlaw decided to drop the 950 instead of just updating its look and maybe a couple of features, I really dont care about balanced outputs for example. I know they dont want a huge product line but two pre-amps doesnt seem excessive. How long has AV123 been around? Has anyone dealt with any of their products?
