Yep, the new amp looks real nice. Also the clean room for making the Vassalo series speakers is much bigger and fancier than I expected.

Did anyone else find Gene's explanation of power factor misleading ? PF is only one of the things which affect the amount of power you can get out of an outlet -- the other is amplifier efficiency. I thought Gene sort of implied that if you had a 90% power factor you could get 90% of the power potential of the outlet into your speakers, which AFAIK is not the case.

Power factor affects how much power you can get into the amplifier without overloading the house wiring; efficiency is how much of the power going into the amp makes it into the speakers rather than being dissipated as heat, noise, or the blazing light off that little LED in the corner

One thing that just occurred to me... they're gonna be doing a lot more fiddling with the speakers (and maybe new ones!) if they went to the trouble of building an anechoic chamber...

Maybe I'm just slow.

Nah, Ian just wants a quiet place to eat lunch and work.

I wonder if they will ever manufacture an amp or monoblocks that poor guys like me can afford? I'm pretty sure I won't get the sign off from my wife on this bad boy.

I know the feeling.

On the other hand, I keep reminding myself that I never even turn up the receiver past -10 (and that's pretty extreme circumstances).

I have never seen Axiom invest a lot of effort and then only make one product with it. Once the new amp is shipping I imagine there will be spinoffs.

At least I hope so
