Give this unit a whirl, slew rates in the HUNDREDS, incredible freq ressponse. This will smoke stuff costing much much more. Same incredible ckts as my high powered (1200-1400W RMS units I use) They sound GREAT. Take and compare it to your 8 Watt overpriced nonsense, But this has not Zen or mystical magic wires, just some stuff with insulation on it. http://www.avahifi.com/root/equipment/control_amplifier/index.htm
