Thanks for this thread, Sean!
I have experience with LightStar amps, and can vouch that they offered fantastic value. The ability to wake the most demanding speakers that never gave me any glimpse of how they were capable of sounding with any other amp I mated with them earned my eternal respect. And, isn't that what an amplifier is supposed to do in the strictest sense? It's something that would need to be experienced to be truly understood.
