Interesting. As I have already mentioned before it's not too hard to produce this level of power, pro equipment routinely is capable of such performance. It's all about how well the final product is crafted, and this appears to be very well done.
The chap behind it, Karan, has a slightly less powerful monoblock, KA M 200, available under his own name, so this would appear to be a special edition of that design. He's using bridging of two stereo channels to get the voltage swing, something that my old Perreaux was set up to do in the early 80's, and in fact that 30 year old design has a slightly larger voltage swing used as a mono amp. Where the ASI wins is that it has enormously higher current output capacity, and from the looks of it a very well engineered power supply. It is not quite in Krell territory, the transformer isn't big enough to square off against their most ambitious units.
The other downside is weight, 90Kg per side, and cost, 70,000 euros (single or per pair??); at the moment I'm sticking with class D, bigger voltage swing, not as much current output, but much greener!!
Reading between the lines, the ASI should be a very, very nice sounding amp ...
