There is a nice example attractively priced near me. Sonic Craft had an upgrade kit for them, and it sounded like a fun soldering project. The reviews I’ve read seem to be “Flawed design, doesn’t meet specs. Sounds fanatic though.” I’ll be ok as long as I can get 20wpc out of it at least
What’s your opinion on the brand/model?

Cheap brand with good ideas . Still has strong following around the world with sizeable Facebook Fanclub.
I had their 300B monoblocks . They were pretty and pretty reliable although parts quality was not impressive. Shouldn't have sold them.
No. I had the misfortune to mess with one of these some years ago. For a short-run amplifier there were around 100 revisions of the PCB; no supoort except by well-meaning amateurs; … in short, far better things to spend your money on.

what kind of money are we talking about in this case ? I see those amps listed at $1k on the usual sites.

This example was $750, and local, so no shipping. I've always understood they had issues with measurements and build quality, but I've been intrigued by their design, especially the SE-100.
