Reading up on this amp now. Seems stunning!
Are there plans to make XL and S versions, as alluded to in the thread? As a DIY two-way guy I would ideally like more power for the woofers, and less power for the tweeters...🙂

What's the measurement differences between V1.4L and this?
Overshoot?

Measurements diff - internal affair. Sound diff - substantial.
Great news LC
Perhaps you could be à bit more specific about the sonic improvement? Are they precision or musicality related?
Further, what have you changed on the board (more modern parts?) and Will these improvementaffect also the reste of the range (M modules etc.)?
Thanks as ever

no ringing even before.

Sound quality defined by many factors of amp's performance capabilities. Digging deeper for a longer time makes one realize what is necessary and what is even more essential to get something out of the parts connected on PCB. It is a play neverending, new ideas arising all the time.
Err, OK... no real reply isn't it ;-)
Probably my fault, so I will rephrase, keeping it simple :
- how would you define the sound improvements in comparison to the "older" version (what is better in your view/ears)?
- will the future M modules benefit also from it?
Many thanks LC

Answers in simple:
- different in all aspects, IMHO step closer to the input signal
- definitely all of them
Warmly invited to hear by yourself in our premises or in the nearest alternative First One amp, preamp, DAC & Maat loudspeakers - YouTube video

Nice vid, mainly around grob and fine dynamics, resolution across frequencies.
I am quite sensitive to female voices... any vids / tests done around that?

Is it going to be implemented to new M modules?!?

Lazy Cat already answered yes to that question!
Lazy Cat,
Post #95 shows FO in full balanced stereo.
Can you confirm if the FO 1.4L amplifier modules in full balanced stereo configuration would be the same as the drawing in post #95. Would 85v be ok?

Ok thanks, it slipped me...
Not at all, perfect FO L v1.4 modules just waiting to be installed.
Are you saying it is preferred not to R&D amplifiers further on?
Our next step is to make 1 kW monos with balanced input, stay tuned.Lazy Cat,

Wow 😱 bridged then?
Anybody know Holton stopped selling Diy this week. Lacycat is one of the only on the market.
