Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps

From an operational standpoint, do the SIT's run hot or are they similar to Class D? While I love my tube amps, it would be nice to have a good sounding alternative that could be run during the Summer months.

The SIT-1 runs pretty hot for a solid state amp. Sort of like the old Bedini Class A amps did. SIT-2 runs quite warm too. These are definitely NOT cool-running boxes like Class D amps are. On the other hand, I don't think this is at all pertinent to season. No reason not to run the same gear year round.

Thanks much for your reply. The SIT amp sounds very intriguing. Hope to audition one in the near future.

Jon ver Halen pointed me to this. In my experience systems where this sort of noise has occurred have high impedance in the source. This is why I have the input buffer option on the SIT amps.

Brawny, you comment on bass from the SIT amp. Yet your Avant Garde speakers uses a plate amp with crossover ranging from 60-350hz. What do you mean by this? Thanks.
