2nd generation EIGENTAKT PURIFI 1ET6525SA (successor to the 1ET400A)

I don't see a reason to doubt the power numbers. I have done a lot of research on these competing amps and the March power data is consistent with what's in the datasheet. They just don't have an undervoltage Hypex PSU. This is measured data not module spec. Still waiting to see more comprehensive measurement data from other manufacturers.
I ordered a March Audio P482 yesterday. It's shipping from stock so no delay from build time. Should have it in the UK by next Monday. I considered the things you mention and have no reason to doubt March and trust they will offer excellent service. 5 year standard warranty. Looks? Well personally I dont want cheap bent sheet for a case. Anything better is similarly priced. So far had excellent comms by email and on their forum. I like the extra attention to detail which provides the best performance. I will let you know how I get on.
@jamesdyson I was wondering if you've received your P482 from March Audio yet? Hopefully my P482 & P481 amps will be with me soon, hopefully tomorrow. :)

No other electronics in a cabinet helps but it's unusual as people end up stacking components with little room for circulation.
Closed spaces by their very nature imped airflow and allow heat build.

I wonder if there is a cultural.geography aspect to that?

With flat screen TVs, I have often read in Europe it is more prevalent to have TVs on a media table, and in the US the wall mounting (often mounted waaaay too high) is far more prevalent.

I have never once in my life put hifi gear in a closed cabinet, personally. And my TV sits on a low media table too (and my minimalist setup shows openly there, too).
 
Honest specifications is also called a hobby? What would be the rated power tested by a 5 minutes continuous sine test at 1kHz into 4 ohm and 8 ohm, all channels driven?
May be honest in some ways, but how useful would that be, would it shorten the amp's life somewhat (if not then I'd for it but if to pass such test it would cost more to make, then would most people be willing to pay for it? I suspect most here on ASR use their amps to listen to music, movie/video sound tracks lol...
 
Can anyone tell me whether the 1ET6525SA design has already been implemented here?: Link
The 510 W @2 Ohm would speak for it.
The bridge-mode has more output power @4 ohms than a 1ET9040BA!
The same has already been seen with an MXA-8400 and M23/M33.

@pogo I believe it's based on the 1ET400A as its advertised with a bandwidth of 60kHz, you can bet if it were the 2nd Gen 1ET6525SA they would most certainly be touting the increase in bandwidth of 80kHz ;)

If -1dB was assumed as the reference, this speaks more in favor of the 2nd generation, as does the power specification for 2 ohms.

You may be right that it is already iET6525SA, but be aware (you must know that already though) that Purifi does not give "continuous" rating as it depends on the thermal system. It also does not specific what "short term" means, the 510 W @ 2 ohm load is qualified in 1) Short term, and 2) Power is limited by overcurrent protection system. Not really too meaningless if used to compared with other amps in terms of apples to apples.
