Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)

Good Listening

Hello Peter, unfortunately I have never had a chance to hear your amplifiers - they look great.  I am curious about your design of big stereo amps instead of monoblocks, and also about the "bridged" implementation of your stereo amps - are these true differential amplifiers?  Is there any effect on the input or output impedance of the amps when running them bridged?  Also curious about your use of MOSFET compared to bi-polar output devices.  My experience has been that MOSFET outputs sound softer while bi-polar outputs have provided better dynamics in the amps I have heard, but I am sure these observations have been influenced by more than the output devices alone.

Taww,
I owned the Neodio  for a few years.  It was a wonderful amp and I should have never sold it.

You may want to consider a Modwright KWA 150SE, it’s a versital well designed and very engaging amp. Modwright products seem to fly under the radar, but are able to provide excellent sonics. 

@pbnaudio - Hi Peter - I remember Marty DeWulf, whom I wrote for a number of years, was a big fan of your designs. They look amazing... if only you had something a little smaller, or better yet, my apartment were bigger. :-D

@mitch2 I think MOSFET "mist" or softness is a thing of the past in a proper design. I've heard a number of more recent designs that have none of that and are indistinguishable from a good bipolar amp in speed and clarity. April Music Ai500 when properly biased (they had some QC issues) was one example, a few others I've heard but can't recall off the top of my head. 

@bobheinatz I just contacted Stéphane Even @ Neodio to see if he is seeking a US review. Really intrigued by his designs.
