Audio By Van Alstine DVA M225 mono amps

Heard great talk about AVA, even heard positive about their customer. Service. 
 

  Very basic designs, which have good reliability

Head over to AudioCircle.  There are several long and detailed threads about these specific amps.

Just bought a pair about a week ago and I must say I am loving them! I am using them with Black Ice F 360 Pre and Zu Def. IV's They are smooth and warm sounding with great dynamics and slam. . Not sure how much warmth the F360 adds? Forgiving of bad recordings. I feel  the reviews that are out there are pretty much spot on. As efficient as the Zu's are they can also take a lot of power. I have driven them hard and the amps have only gotten warm. I believe the first 20 watts are class A I would be interested in pairing them with their new digital preamp but at this point I am content. Finally!

Currently I possess two AVA products. One is a modified CD player “FET Three” from the later 80’s I’m guessing. Works perfectly. Also have a modified Dynaco qsa 300 that was transformed to the “MOS-FET 250E.” That unit also works perfectly. AVA products are solid as they get. Buy Franks products with confidence. 

Van alstine is the best bang for the buck bar none.Franks products compete with anything. That review compares his amps with some megabuck amps and they do well. I have his dva600 monos and with my system best ever sound.
