NOT class D. That is a viscious lie. Will be the ultimate flexible SQ amp. More probably with tube options. I am just going by what Stephen told me over the phone. Why would I lie about amps I love? No accusation implied. I had heard the same thing about the big class D when I called and asked about a big class D he told me that was BS. We talked for a little while just before Christmas about this and it sounded to me like an amp that would do anything from 4 channel to true mono and anything in between to 1-8 ohms depending on setup. Anyway, perhaps there's more than 1 in the works? Perhaps class D is an option? Perhaps it's a multichannel with a class D section? It definitely sounded to me like a lot was still on the drawing board so who knows? I have got the impression from Stephen that 1. He isn't a big fan of class D, and 2. he thinks people who run at 1 ohm are arsehos.....Then again, that doesn't mean he isn't building something for that market to either. OR, perhaps this is all wild speculation and a vast conspiracy of misinformation to get the buzz out about what's coming. Either way, I'm going to get the biggest meanest one as soon as possible. Like you, I'm just going by what I was told. Pretty exciting speculating though since you KNOW it's gonna be sick! I am very excited. I just remember him mentioning about the complaints on the current (outgoing) models, and size/footprint was an issue. So he touched on full range class D and how with ZED's work for large professional amps recently, the technology has got to the point where sound quality is pretty close to A/B. As for the multiple channel, multiple load wild thing, I heard verbatim what you posted. I think he wants to move to just 2 models total. But then again, he did just say via IM Sunday that it is still in the design phase and things can change. Either way I am happy to see a growing number of ZED fans coming here. I cannot wait until I can get my skilled fiber glass'er friends to help me finish the SSA SQ show car so the two signed BB ZED's can go in there.
