Anyone seen/heard one in the flesh? Should be a very capable competitor to the Accuphase & Luxman Class-A integrated amps. Too bad it has only three inputs when I need four.

I have seen our heard it yet. I agree with you that it will be interesting to see how it compares to Accuphase or Luxman.

The Accuphase E-800 has "raised the bar", at least in terms of power for a Class A integrated.

The INT25 is kinda like a bridge product.
Between FirstWatt and the regular series. It’s a fair bit cheaper than the XA30.8 and the integrated/power also sacrifices balanced connections. Some reckon it sounds better than the XA30 because of the simplification
