Gordan,

I've got the boards created by Peter Daniel and collected some of the parts, but haven't built the monoblock F4s yet.

Hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to report.

I thought it would be interesting to try as the Orphean main amp, as well as trying it out as bass amps. Perhaps a voltage gain stage would be needed for bass amp duty, I don't know. It would be cool if the main amp supplied enough voltage gain by itself.

Based on my experience with various amps, I think that many normal sources are going to need an active preamp with the F4, even with the high efficiency Orpheans.

In the meantime, if anyone else has tried the F4, I'd be interested too in observations.
