Couple questions: 1) all search results show photos of this amp with wood panel with metal insert, while Drop offers one in all aluminum. Which one are we going to get? 2) what are typical use cases for this amp? With only 9W/ch it does not look powerful. What kind of speakers should be paired with this amp?

rumata131) It'll be the aluminum panel style. I have a bunch of higher quality photos of the silver model in my review. 2) The wattage is a bit deceptive. While 9w may sound pretty low compared to solid state gear, it is more than enough to drive speakers with >=87db/w sensitivity. It performs closer to what one would see from a 40-50w solid state. I use mine with a set of JBL Studio 570 and Polk Monitor 70 Series II (via high level speaker switch) in my ~400sqft master bedroom with great success.

FayneThank you. I am trying to see if I have a need for this amp. My main system has vintage Pioneer amp and my headphone set-up is Darkvoice tube amp. It looks like I don't really need this.

rumata13Vintage Sansui 4000 here, I did not think I needed this amp either, glad I bought it. I am using Zu DW6 Supreme speakers, very happy and would recommend this amp to friends and family. ;-)

rumata13As of 2/15/2024, the amp I received is the one pictured, all metal, no wood. The manual states 10w of power, I have not removed the bottom to inspect the insides. This was a good purchase, the sound is top notch and worth the price. This is a good value in my book.
