That would be a good buy (though quite a bit more than the HK)...

a "BIT" more? Thats what you call 1500 bucks in your world? HAS this thing got a
gold plate vollume knob or something?

No gold plated gain control. Unlike the H-K, however, it is a tier one product both in terms of build quality and sonics. There is no line stage per se. It has a 200 joule power supply and can drive loads that would cause lesser amps to go into protection with its forty matched output devices. Fans unnecessary even running Class A up to 10 watts/channel.

Pass INT-150

LOL... 1500 is about double the cost of my XPA-2 amp...

At 200 peak amps, that HK is a beast and no ordinary integrated amp. I'd love to hear one.

Yeah, but then you have to buy speakers the size of GMC Suburbans, CD players
handmade by virgin CD player maker monks from Tibet, and get the RUSSIANS in
line for a reactor to power the entire mess...

My VAC does, several knobs and a faceplate.
