I've never seen that brand before.  Some big ass caps and heat sinks.  Class A?

Congrats on the find!

Class A bias up to around 70 wpc, they spec out to about 165 wpc AB 8 ohm. 1 ohm stable at 600 watts.  Absolute monsters, hand made by one of the greatest amplifier designers/builders Randy White.  The other one comes on monday. Now, I need a proper pair of speakers.

Beautiful amps Nick. 

The best amplifier designer ever is Bob Carver though.  Best amps I ever owned - the Black Beauty 305s - were designed and built by him.

My ears perked up as I know you have a keen sense for good gear. 

I need to plan a visit to your place.  This weather may finally becoming normal.

100 watts, class A.  Linear to 2 ohms, balanced and unbalanced inputs and bridgeable.  Nice amps!

Can't lie, those look pretty. My favorite amps I have ever heard are the black beauties and the Antique Sound Lab Hurricane DT amps. Might have to make a stop at your place next time in town to see if yours make the list.
