Rome wasn't built in a day.Anywau, I think one of the key points here is the big paradigm shift in amplifier R&D.
H20 Audio took a stock ICEPower module, mated it with a power supply and got big results in a jiffy. That was just a few months ago. No more tuning and tweaking of gain stages and Fets and Bipolars etc etc to dial in the sound.
Look for more and more development of very good sounding amps using prebuilt digital amp modules from the like of ICEPower, LCAudio, Hypex, PowerPhysics, Tripath etc etc.
It's coming whether we like it or not.

from your post, the amplifier is clearly still in development, yet both of you have proclaimed it to be the best when compared to 'actual' products that are available on the open market.well...
I have heard the H2O monos at Henry Ho's house on his Scintillas and the system was amazing. For difficult loads like the Apogees, it is a perfect match. I have Scintillas so I am planning on buying them. My wife (who is a musician) even demanded that the Scintillas be removed from the basement and brought up to the living room when we buy this amp. This is something that I thought I would never see in my lifetime! Bob

Not quite correct.Version 1 (with the aluminum case) is sold out.
Version 2 (with the new case) is coming soon.
The marketing and revised manufacturing process is what is in development.
We are just giving you a head's up, that is all.
Theaudiohobby, nobody is trying to convince you the H2O is the next thing better to Mom's Banana Split Pie. We are H2O owners, and that is our opininion. There are others. One deeep pocket audiophile sold his Pannys, and 3 Evo Gen. II's, and replaced them with three H2O's. Another fellow is using them on his Soundlabs. There are several more, most being Apogee owners. The H2O builder, has been hand burnishing aluminum plates for the last few months. Since the builder, Hung Ho, in Virginia, is a fellow Apogee lover, we heard of the H2O first. In the meantime, he has secured the services of chasis builders, printers, and website builders. As soon as that all is running smoothly, amp production will increase dramatically, and you won't have to take our word for anything.
