Dear Srajan, first off, happy new year to you and Ivette. I hope the two of you will continue to be healthy, happy and prosperous. Now onto my question. I'm itching to upgrade my system and was curious what component (not speaker) might currently have you most excited to warrant closer inspection. I understand that you can't make blanket recommendations and I'm not asking for one. I'm just curious what, through the filter of your experience and industry connections, looks of particular interest right now. Thanks for your reply, Filipe
I assume you want something I've not yet mentioned so here goes: Alberto Guerra's new AGD Productions Tempo. It uses the same GaNFet tech as his tubed amps but packages the entire circuitry inside a compact case. At 100/200wpc into 8/4Ω or twice that bridged, it's got real power. Having reviewed his two mono versions, I'm certain that his first stereo amp will fly just as high but get us there on a smaller budget. Considering that I find his to be the most exciting development in class D, the Tempo amp is the one that has me most excited. For whatever that might be worth to you. That I'm still not quite sure about. Srajan
