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.


I don't think that's much a of a tradeoff for switchmode power amps.

These guys are under bang & olufsen. I would tend to think that B&O
would still mean some measure of quality.

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.
