Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Before long there should be more information coming on the SIT amplifiers

I was just shown the following English abstract of a Japanese paper that I soon hope to be able to read in its entirety:

Particularities of audio engineering and the role of SIT

"The past fifty years cannot be called a period of continual advance in the music reproduction capabilities of audio equipment (recording/playback/PA equipment, electronic instruments, etc.) The author goes back to the basics of audio engineering to analyze the characteristics of music, and makes observations on the particularities of audio engineering. Criteria are clearly defined and key points for pursuit are recommended. The superiority of SIT among currently available circuit technology design choices is explained, along with sonic achievements of a newly designed and built ideal OTL amplifier using only SIT at all stages. The amplifier was designed and made by selecting standard circuits suitable for SIT so as to bring out the best in SIT. The potential of SIT for future audio system development is also discussed."

So you can look forward to learning more juicy details before long. Usually I pay much less attention to amplifiers than to speakers -- I confess that I tend to think of amplifiers as being pretty close to "commodity" items (although I realize that's an overstatement, but there seems to be less differentiation among amplifiers than, say, among signal source equipment or loudspeakers) but something about these amplifiers really grabbed my attention. Heck, everything about Maxonic grabs one's attention. It takes a LOT of balls to do what they are doing and they obviously have the courage of their convictions and fanatic dedication.
