Not as Class-D modules get smaller, lighter, more efficient, and more powerful.It's gonna' be pretty hard to top the SM9.2 for size/weight/power/versatility.
@ 2 ohms

Eh... 2 Ohm support would be among my least important features.
Case in point, I was excited for the Carvin B1000. Then I found out it was only 900 watts @2 ohms, and something like 600 @4. Totally removed it from my list of amps to check out.
As an owner of a Streamliner 900 and a Shuttle 9.0, I'm really excited about this!
Personally I vote for a SS/tube lightweight hybrid that can do at least 900 Watts @ 2 ohms![]()

Actually I'm shooting more for something designed for 3 x 8 Ohm load in one power section (that's 2.66 ohms right?) as opposed to the dual mono 4 ohm minimum approach (genz shuttlemax 12) or the non bridged and lower powered 2 ohm (Puma 1000, Bonafide etc)...ideally 1200w @ 2.66 ohms...just my dream specs, your dreams may vary![]()
OK. I'll concede on weight and power.Not as Class-D modules get smaller, lighter, more efficient, and more powerful.

Versatility might be improved (for some people) with digital programmability.
Not sure how it could be made smaller without giving up versatility, so I stand by that.
Wasn't Roger in Brooklyn for a while? I thought for certain that he was.I think Sadowsky is in Queens, but Fodera and Carl Thompson are both in Brooklyn.
Which is why I think the ShuttleMax amps are as small as I'd ever want.Personally, I'd prefer to see a lot of of these things go back to a slightly larger format, if anything. Little bitty knobs with little bitty labeling really close together make me grumpy, and I don't really need any extra help with that.
