At the FDIM hotel, Wayne was driving the new amp with a K2/100, turned down to about 40W. FCC apparently requires a minimum drive of 50W to create full output on an amp of this size. It didn't sound like they had made it through acceptance yet... But the delivery was 3 - 4 months away at minimum (fall?) for the initial offering.
They were toying with both a fully constructed model, and a partial kit (switching power supply and power output modules built). Price has not yet been set as design and suppliers were no doubt not finalized. However, save your money. This will NOT be "petty cash". I imagined prices in the $3k range - give or take. The prototype was in a matte black cabinet, estimated at 18"w X 6"h x 18"d. But I believe the weight was quoted at a modest 35#. Also, while I didn't get a chance to inqurie, they had a prototype watt meter at Hamvention. About the size of the T1....
