Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?

Actually, it seems like your speakers are among the highest efficient speakers and that most of the reviews or users reported no problems driving less efficient speakers. I don’t recall anyone having problems regarding the XA25 not adequately driving their speakers to adequate volumes.

?? My speakers are 3 dB more efficient than Al's. And there are speakers that are a good 8 or 9dB more efficient than mine...

I was not aware there was such a world of high efficiency speakers.  I haven't been in the market for speakers in years so its all kind of flew under my radar.

My first post here dseltz. Some First Watt thoughts. I recently got to demo a First Watt F7 for one week in my home system, from my local dealer. I have a pair of Focal 807 V W Prestige bookshelves. The amp it replaced for the week was an Emotiva  A 300 (150w). The Emotiva is approximately a 28db gain amp vs the F7’s 14db I’d gain. Class A vs AB. All I can say is WOW. I was impressed. The synergy with the First Watt and the Focals produced a smoother,almost tube like tone. I found myself enjoying longer and non-fatiguing listening sessions.I struggled with the idea of giving back the First Watt to my dealer. 3k vs $400. The Emotiva is OK for a 150w stand alone amplifier. A bit forward sounding for the Al/Mag tweets. I did have to disconnect and remove the two noisy, cheap and unnecessary heat sink fans. The amp runs very cool. The First Watt? Um- a nice added source of heat for the man-cave, the week I enjoyed it. Enjoy the new amp and hope to join the First Watt/Pass club soon! 

So where do you get this "sort of kit"?

I also have just taken delivery of a SIT-3. I think this must be from the second production batch. 

Halfway through the break-in now and sounds great.
