So, if I have an 8V line driver and the gain all the way down this amp will output 5W?

Or if I have a 2V deck and the gain all the way down, the amp will output 5W?

It sounds like his novel design is a tracking input gain or some type of audio compressor. Anyone ever hear of the company NAD? They build amps which cannot clip (or so they say, never tried one myself), which to my best guess simply ramp down gain as the output approaches clipping. Guess what, this is another form of protection, so these amps are not protection free.

Really, I am just rambling here, but I am getting a ton of laughs off of the claims made about this product. I am just trying to pull something sane out of them all.

I have heard of those NAD amps...was refered to them once but out of my $ range.

"Its not about ratings, or even about the distortion rating. I asked him about CEA compliant ratings, and his answer is that he didn't build them for anybody who cares about ratings..."

Well, ratings are for people who care to compare amples to amples. Personally my car does 1,000,000 cranstons in under a plemptude. So do all my amps. Because ratings are BS.

I emailed back and forth with the owner some to discuss what would be good for my setup. He obviously wasn't interested in making a sale and I wasn't impressed with the vagueness of his responses.
