Stellavox amps ?

I'm wondering why I read so little about Stellavox PW-1 monoblock amps? I brought home a used pair 4 years ago just to try, and fell in love with them. My experience with other amps is limited to a Krell KAV-250i & a Bryston 4BST. I had been swapping components in my system for about 10 years (off & on) never being totally happy until I plugged in the PW-1's. I'm using them with Silverline Sonata II's & a Wadia 850 CD player. I've had the opportunity to listen to systems costing more than 10 times what I have invested in mine, and haven't found any reason to want to change anything. Why are these amps being ignored? Is it because they just aren't very impressive looking?

I currently own a pair of pw-1 monoblocks which I bought used here on Audiogon. Very impressed with the over all build quality and sound! Very warm tube like for solid state! I have a NYAL Minuet in A for a preamp. Fantastic match up! Meridean 596 DVD player which I play CD's through. A matched pair of Ruark Solus monitors. The instruments sound as if they are in the room with you! Very Live like performances! Extremely impressed with my system! Would not change a thing!Rega P2 Table with RB300 with discovery wire Acrylic platter, tricked up sub-platter and a Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge!

They are superb amps. Stellavox was the "pro" division at Goldmund.

Not many were sold, and Goldmund discontinued the project.
