How much?

Off the cuff I would say no, I'm not really a fan of their new stuff, nor their customer service. Also, that's a 2 channel class A/B, you can get a class D for a lot less.

There are a lot of good options for cheap class D monoblocks.

I'd say they give some of the products in the new US Amps line a run for their money, not just because I own them, but because their performance has certainly been proven... In my opinion, just because US Amps have established a solid reputation doesn't mean that a newcomer can't provide the same performance, at a competitive price
