I build a clone of the First Watt amp pure class A, point to point wired and better capacitors transformer and resistors. I use it t drive a pair of Vandersteen Model 5As with no issues. Beats the pants off the First Watt also!
Happy Listening.
30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting?
My recent amp has led me to want to downsize my setup. My Sophia II’s can be handled by the amp but I wonder what would I look at if I downsized the speakers to prepare for a life less crowded by heavy equipment. NOTE: The amp inspires me to believe I am hearing the very best music of my life < 70 watts.
