Looks like Audioholics just gave this amp a product of the year recognition. Although it is a decent amp, I'm pretty sure it can't do any better with all channels driven from 20-20000hz(transformer size is only 850 VA) than my receiver, an Onkyo 876. My avr could probably beat it on the 'burst' test. Plus the cross talk numbers on this amp series is not so good, there have been complaints on their forum from owners running 2 zones with the amp and getting sound bleeding into the second zone.
But if your budget is only $700 then it's unmatched. I think I'd go up a series to the XPA line.
