They should really get that information out there on the web site to make it more official especially for products like this that require a significant investment and might have other special things to consider. Info through the grapevine is not the same. I find getting hyped up on a new product then not even finding it on the makers website a big letdown.
For example I have read one of the models spec’ed to deliver up to 100amps. That’s a lot! Catches my eye but then I wonder if the typical household circuit can handle that ( I read a typical US household circuit is only rated for 15-20 amps) and also what the power consumption is. If Class A and that much juice, must be very expensive to run!
My Bel Canto ref1000m Class D amps will trigger the breaker on that circuit in my house if I power them both up at the same time. Each is speced to deliver 45 amps peak. Otherwise, they are very efficient and things run fine. I’ve never had them flip a breaker while running. Maybe if I went even louder.....
All that aside, the 16 is a very good looking amp that I would very much like to hear. If ever I were to drop $16K on an amp, maybe this is the one I would consider.
