T-amp?
Irrational marketing as well as 'design'. Anyone with that kind of money to splurge, unless they're a pig ignorant, red-neck speed dealer, isn't going to allow anything as fake looking in their living space. What on earth are these people thinking?
Maybe the designers are on coke themselves? Maybe not, you'd need to be on LSD to imagine those absurd looking boxes were anything other than ridiculous.

ICE POWER modules speil looks the same..
What Are
To really hear what the GF-INT is capable of, you ideally want speakers which are 94-99 dB/ 1 m /1 W sensitivity; 8-16 Ohm with relatively flat impedance FR; and low moving mass (MMs) drivers such as paper cone models.
We've had difficulty demo-ing the amp in a couple of places, because the client didn't really have anything suitable.
Looks like they took a bunch of old, damaged picture frames, cut them. and made footings for this ugly thing.

Damn sure it's British. They live in the past century
You have to admit that it would look pretty swell on your 48 foot sail boat. With all that water and wind noise how would you know it sounded bad?
I think it should be sandard fare during the America's Cup. It's the least we can do.
Nonsense ! If it belongs anywhere it's on the Mayflower. In fact, now that I look at it again it damned well reminds me of the Mayflower.
Let's eee Christopher Jones get that one by his 3 investors.

Teddy Ray, an excellent and appropriate one word product summary. You are obviously on top of your game.
oi you cheeky monkey
We do have some good British audio engineer companies here, that company/person must be a con or a joke.
Although I bet if its serious, they got the idea due to forums saying audiophiles will pay anything for audio gear if its marketed correctly, so I blame Buddha and JJ
Of course the maker of that crud then ignores they are competing against known companies with exceptional hardware at that price, if they managed to sell one of that piece of turd I will splutter my tea and Rich Tea biscuits all over my monitor!!!!
Regarding the Class D, I need to try and remember John Franks view on it (founder of Chord Electronics), this could be very wrong but I thought he felt for it to work very well it needs to operate in the mhz range and beyond the current several hundred khz range - I cannot remember his reasoning.
This is interesting as he designed an alternative type of operation and I get the feeling he would had gone Class D/PWM if they could get it to work well in the mhz range.

No McVities Chocolate Digestives?
The British do make some good tube guitar amps. The re-issue 1964 VOX AC-30 reverb amp is very good.
The HIWATT is another
Maybe their home audio days are behind them.

That works as well

Nothin' much wrong with Musical Fidelity's 'Titan', Quad's Classic 80, Leema's Tucanna II & Altair etc, Kingsound's MB 150 monoblocks, - - the list goes on - - - - also Google Tim d' Paravccini.
Don't you know how bad chocolate and tea go together?
Yeah totally agree.
And also add companies such as Naim Audio, dCS, Chord Electronics (not the cable company), Proac, PMC, B&W (still British based although internationally owned), and at the budget end Cambridge Audio, Cyrus, amongst others that I cannot think of at the moment.
Plenty of British audio still around, well for now anyway.

Plenty of British audio still around
Correct that to: Plenty of great British audio still around...
Sorry, plenty of uber British audio around
