These are robust amps, built like tanks. They are marketed under other brands, such as Lexicon, Outlaw, SAE, and most recently Monoprice. Made in California. I installed these amps when I was doing design-build on the East Coast because they are built so well. I didn't want call-backs. The older ones ran hot, but the new Hypex-based amps ought to run a lot cooler.

I see from your website that you also sell Matrix, Benchmark, Topping and RME, in addition to the Dutch and Dutch speakers. Nice to see a dealer focusing on gear that is well engineered.

Down here in Houston, just 3 hours away and I make frequent trips to Austin.

Yup. It's a sideline to my law practice, so I'm privileged to deal only in products that I personally would (and do) buy. I really appreciate well-engineered products; it shows honesty and passion by the maker. Also, just as when I was in the design/build business years ago, selling quality products minimizes callbacks and returns.

Ah. I’m an attorney as well. Adding a side business in audio gear sounds like a lot of work, but we all have different ways of spending our free time. :)
Well, it helps me do things like pay for cars and private school tuition. Let's just say I work a lot.

If I were in New York, Nice Cans would have a different accent. Can't you just hear a construction worker yelling that?
