I talked to the Hong Kong distributor, they said they only service equipment sold through their dealers- you pay US$25 for a serial number check which takes 2-3 days. I don't have 2-3 days to wait really, but I heard from the dealer that the used amp (the stores are in the same building..21 stories of used and new high-end audio) came from them- only 3 of its kind have been sold in HK.
It seems like 20 watts is enough to drive my 804s at decent volume in my living room - its about 3800 square feet, but since its short on one side, my listening area is only about half to two-thirds of the room, so 2500 square feet maybe.
I'll probably pick the amp up tomorrow if it passes another listening test (it sounded tonally amazing to me as well, the most engrossing sound I've heard in all my searching recently), along with some guarantee from the vendor that it's a HK unit, unless any new information appears.
Trelja, I live in Beijing, just over half a day's drive from Shenyang. I saw part of a marathon nine-hour documentary about the city, called 'Tie Xi Qu'. Lots of economic migrants from Shenyang in Beijing, that city was the heartland of industrial, communist china.
