Anybody cared to compare the Firstwatt F1 and F2 driving the K1000 with the same partnering equipment? Please tell me somebody did!
More F2 clone sound impressions please!
Thank you!

Wow looks like it was a great meet, Stephan you win some sort of prize for attending a meeting NorCal then running one 7 days later in North Carolina.
Nice k1000 amps there, I have really wanted to hear the f2 compared to the f1. It looks like that may not have been done at the meet but oh well. The f2 looks to have been hooked up to a k1000 rig any impression of that?
I'm loving the emergency fire button over the open amp Steve, good call.

Kent! Haven't talked in ages. You still in 'Bama? That's quite a drive. We need to get those Nashville folks back together sometime, haven't been up to see my sister & nephew in a while.
I listened to both, albeit through different systems and not in succession. I think it's safe to say that both amps sound pretty good- the choice between the F1 and F2 should probably come down more to whether or not you are looking for a fully balanced rig VS single-ended rig, and not overwhelming sonic differences between the two, imho.
Thanks for setting it up thrice. (I was the quiet guy who didn't speak so as to not make a fool of himself.) I'll learn soon, hope to build an amp with gates_2's help.
Looks like a great meet, everyone. Some impressive K1000 gear, and thrices and Dubrew's offerings always impress.
There was a comment regarding portable amps that for "something just north of $100" the Mini^3 is a great performer and screaming bargain. A big X2 from me on that sentiment.
Thanks for the pics and impressions, and as jp11801 said, thrice is a meet machine, no, make that meet animal.
