Usher R 1.5, Can This Amp Be For Real?


I stumbled across this amp. It has to be the bargain of the century. $4000 gets you a 150 watt/ch Class A amplifier which you can strap. It is made in Taiwan but so are my Parasound JC 1's which are very nicely made. There is one on sale here for 20% off. Anybody have any experience with this amp??

It says they copied the Threshold Stasis amp. That was a great amp in it's day. I had it's matching preamp for a while but could not afford the amp. A pair strapped would certainly make a formidable system for only $8000. I wonder how it compares with the JC-1s. 
The amps I have always liked the most have been class A. I just marvel that they can be built and sold for this price. I have my eyes on Atma-Sphere MA 2's which are class A but tip the scales at $40,000. THey are hand made and point to point wired so, you can see where the money went.
