Yes and no. This is another amp from China that I forgot to mention in my earlier thread. I came this close to buying one. ASR had a mini-meet here a couple months ago and I wanted to pit my Cyber 20 against it. Unfortunately, I was sick and missed the meet. According to a friend of mine in Hong Kong, he actually went and listened to them side by side in a store and bought the Cyber 20 instead. So I was curious and want to hear it for myself.

As I had mentioned earlier, you need to figure out which speakers you intend to drive. This one is also a Single Ended Triode (SET) amps with output of 2watts. It will only handle very efficient speakers. Probably speakers with efficiency rating of 98dB and above. (That might be a low number too)
