Nothing good or pleasing about it. In fact it rather sounds like sandpaper going through a meat grinder. In the tests above, using the same output tube, the Zen Triode amp performed with higher RMS output into low impedance loads. In the same tests, the amplifier was bridged using our series bridging technique made possible by floating the outputs. In this configuration the now mono amplifier exactly doubled all the figures above.
Specs are overdone.
Specs for solid state amps and the procedures for measuring should not be the same as the procedures for measuring tube amps. Remember RMS does not account for Peak Power, Clipping characteristics, and the distortion level where RMS is measured is open to the guy doing the measurements. If people are telling you the Zen amp is only a watt, smile and remember that you know better and remember that if you have a speaker load that only coaxes one watt out of your each channel of your Zen, that just means more headroom and besides that's where the magic is, the first watt.
