P.G., ya I have the same silver unit as the one in your pic. I have been playing the unit since about 2:30-ish today. To my ears...timbre and pitch in the low mids and bass are restricted but upper mids to treble is good right out of the box. In comparison to the Rogue Cronus Magnum..the Rogue has a more delicate top end and more extension with a richer lower midrange. Bass from the Rogue is on another level but consider the Rogue has had one month of duty plus has 9 tubes overall and 90 WPC at that.

I am already considering ordering a second MiniWatt but this time the cryo'd version.

Looking at the pic from ebay the APPJ logo is shown on the lower right faceplate but my unit has MiniWatt N3 on the faceplate.

My System-Audio Aura 1 bookshelf speaker are rated at 84db but I hear no strain from the amp at all.
