Extensively, but not exclusively. What is your worry ?


My worry was that the amplifier characteristics might be tweaked for low
frequency instrument amplification (higher power at the expense of higher
distortion or limited high frequency response, for example), or would be
built to hit a price point.

But on thinking about it, it's not really relevant for the intended
purpose. Extended HF response won't be noticeable, really, and the
distortion will be fine at the levels the amp will be pushing.

And the assorted information I've trawled up on the Internet suggests that
these amp modules work well, are reliable, and sound good in hi-fi as well
as live instrument uses.

And weigh less than a Bryston 4B.
