Certainly alot of questions need asking... is it a mono PP (required to get 10-15W) or a stereo SE (4-5W)? If a mono PP in Class A 8-9W is more like it.

It's surely stereo Dave, a little bit overrated in power

I'm not against those kind of things, if the price is really low and the shipping from HK doesn't skyrocket it

They can be fairly good (given a proper tweaking) to drive mid-hig sections in multiamped sistems, or to drive those little fullrange speakers you've just build for your pc audio

I would certainly question the OPT's in something that small. The frequency response must be measured at 0dBm output or something, unless it uses like 30dB of NFB
