Is that an evaluation price or a 1000 price? If eval I might try some in a powered speaker....

At that $$$, even with other parts and some markup a decent amp could be very attractive IF someone would sell for a reasonable price. Kinda like DLP - looks OK, a few issues, promise of great quality and low price, but early implementors are wringing the $$$ out of it while they can.

My take on this deal is really pretty simple - they don't out perform or at this time under cut existing technology, so I'm interested, but only casually. But that is, as you point out, tangental to the threads original topic.
