This was an interesting amp. 200w/8ohms; 400w/4ohms. Available in two OR THREE channels. Development seems to have started on the late 90's around the time Levinson sold the company to a dot-com zillionaire. Assume that Tom Coelangelo did the design - before the company folded and he went to work for Viola Labs (2000?). Don't believe it was made available / sold until the two partners who tried to resurrect the company finished the "cabinetry". Do know that a few were sold under the Matthew-James label and there is some info on that website. Anyone have / heard one?

Also believe that there were a few multi-channel (5/6?) amps designed but info is scarce.
AND anyone heard / know any Acoustic Research (AR) affiliation stories? There are some brochures out there but no actual products that I'm aware of.
