Tube input...MOSFET output...interesting. Class AB?

Haven't received the final specs yet but should be class A/B, judging by King's work on the Constellation. First 15-20W is Class A, then after it's class AB.

Another thing, I just sold my soul and in exchange got the Sharp LC-80LE960X tv and looking for a good sound bar. Any recommendations? I have auditioned the Sonos and the Sharp. Not much choice here in KL ler... Oh, the monster will be in Harvey Norman as I am only taking delivery in end August. Takes 3 weeks to order it in together with the mounting bracket (sold separately) if I am lucky (4-5 weeks if I am not) which means that I still got quite a few months to make my choice. Have to have a sound bar cos the tv output is only 2.1ch (10W + 10W + 15W subwoofer).

Bro, I don't have a BIG house like yours lah... that's why my preference is leaning towards the Dynaudio Evidence Master. Secondly, I REALLY am NOT looking forward to dealing with our friend from Perfect Hifi at Wisma MPL again. Thirdly, I REALLY like Dynaudio. Maybe my Guarneri will sound better on its stands (hee..hee... I have not collected it yet) or after I have finally burned it in. Or after I have burned in all my components and connectors but the Marantz + Dynaudio seems to sound better than Krell + Guarneri.
Aiyah...all you SF fans ah...

Ya. Contacted them oredy. No stocks for all models. K-01 about 60K+. I prefer the K-05 (about 25K). They are checking if there are stocks in Kiasuland. Takes 3 weeks to bring it in. These are the older models. The new models have an "x" behind its model numbers i.e. K-01x etc. Same audio circuitry except the new one have more connections

Might not get Aida though...perhaps the Magico M5 (frigging huge) or the Dynaudio Evidence Master (nice and slender) or the Evidence Platinum.
Most probably the Dynaudio cos I can get CMY to import it in for me (and I DO like Dynaudio).

Q5 and not M5, right?

Ya, did some research last nite and I am ordering the newer K-05X model. Full price 27,560 including GST. 50% deposit. Minimum 2 months to get in (if I am lucky) cos the K-05X is the newest model from the new "X" series. Model not even up on the US Esoteric website yet. Spoke to Lim of Absolute Sound and he told me that TEAC Japan only produces 1 model every month due to lack of production line for the Esoteric products, alternating between models every month. Oh yes, the K-01X retails for over 75K (excluding GST). The base model K-07 (old model) sells for just under 3K (excluding GST).

Hi all sifu here

Anyone audited the Q Acoustic Concept 20 before? Is it really that good as per the review around?

Any amp+DAC to pair with it?

and any speaker in the same range which can perform better than it?
