ZERO Feedback talk. Monarchy amps.

I know that the average SS amp design have a neg. feedback upto 50dB which lowers an input impedance significantly.
I know that we need to apply neg. feedback due to the non-linear output characteristics of transistors or even tubes.
There are the cases when I can see either low or no feedback on tube amps and I understand that very often you need no feedback on tube amps.
The Monarchy audio came up with SS amps that have zero feedback. Did anyone listened to them? The thing is that I do not personally believe that it's possible to implement SS amp with no neg. feedback.

I own the Monarchy SM-70s which are 25 w/ch. stereo amps. The also are switchable to mono-operation at 70w/ch. and also support balanced operation.

Personally, I think these amps are GREAT. I have had maybe 10 different amp setups in the last 2 years and in most respects, the Monarchys are my favorite. I don't know about the technical aspects of the "zero feedback" design, but I know that CC Poon would "educate" you if you called or sent e-mail. Go to Monarchy's website for contact information

I'm currently running the SM-70s with either Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference monitors or Adire HE10.1s. Either way, they sound great.

Enjoy,
