Hi Bob---I've recently heard the amp #2 at my local dealer. It's a great sounding amp. The store owner was streaming some good music on a nice pair of Graham speakers. I thought it was another amp but when I asked, he said it was the amp #2. It really made my ears perk up when I heard it across the room. For a 26 wpc (high current) it had no problem with those Grahams. F/R showcased it at Capitol Audio Fest a couple of weeks ago.
