what story ?
Old School ..........
F5 ( constructed by youngest old geezer of all times )
ZM (youngest orphan never adopted from youngest old geezer of all times )
Finally a Zen/F amp that mighty ZM found worthy of building Just like everyone else, more or less

naah really
friend of my friend have F5 signed by Papa ( tip - last BAF)
he gave that F5 to his friend ( friend of friend of my friend ) and associate , for test with his ancient AR spks
he was thrilled
but sad ...... cause he doesn't have money for original ...... and he isn't good even in puzzle - thing - ing electronic puzzles
then first friend (friend of my friend) send him to ZM
then ZM made his first boxed Papamp , for price of parts .
every other Papamp lived from 2 days to 2 months in my workdshop , made in ikebana style, just laying on mdf plate or just ( one or two) brutal heatsink(s)
later I dismantled every single one .... with parts laying and waiting for next Papatoy .
but - I'm always coming back to my old & rusty ECL82SE ..... fleawatt
btw. - happy (probably - if OS F5 survive direct comparison with Papasigned F5) owner of OS F5 9 (friend of friend of my friend) is going to made brute OBs , with two 15" + SFR200 per side

Papa in the background..typing a new article...."MUhahahhaha....ZM just built an F5, but when he sees THIS One....Muhahhahaha...."
And I hear ZM "Bad Papa, baaddd!!!
Oh yeah, the F6, rumoured to be 100 watt monoblocks with Lovoltech's Cant wait to see it, and the amp-cases are ready and waiting
BTW I just brought the U.P.'s to a friend of mine, this afternoon, with really hungry speakers. La Folia with a max impedance of 3ohm!! Drops to lower than you would like to know about!!! The U.P.'s did great, I tell you!! They simply rocked the place...he-he. But now he wants a UGS preamp Thats the outcome of such an event.. Oh well, pretty impossible....

naah ...... just right , even considering summer temps ....... that's just sissy 55W of dissipation per channel.....
I'm burning almost same heat in any proper preamp

Well, it's nice to see you finally coming up to speed with the rest of us
Avitar is just my Econowave rendition - not much to say except... They sound pretty good I like it better than the 811b 902 Altec combo. Different type of beast though.....
As you know, my version seems to like lots 'o' power. And the more you give em the more they open up. I know it's not your style but the sound suits me. A class A amp big enuff would break my wallet in energy. Leach amp under construction (feeling like a traitor).
