Sir.Byrd's F5

This is the result of a intensive collaborative project spanning nine months.

With the help of a few experts I was able to create this wonderful amplifier.

The circuit design is by Nelson Pass, but I adapted it into dual mono down to two power cords and two switches, the only shared item being the chassis.

I benched it at 26 watts into 8 ohms and 42 into 4.

Not bad for less than half of the retail price!

  • A friend has built a few F5s and they sound excellent. Yours is a extremely nice build. Better than the the standard black or tin box of most.
