I came across this one in my search for a specific application. The form factor and feature set design/flexibility is intriguing in this world of cookie cutter functionality especially in amps.

But, it almost seems like it is an industry secret with very little dealer network or discussion anywhere. Seems like they have been around for a while. There isn't even a single picture of its insides I could find. It was released more than a year ago.

Are they like Parasound? Like Outlaw 7000x using white-labeled ODM?

Looks like they sell re-branded Arcam for pre/pro (Maestro series) but don't know anything about this amp.

Had no idea they do home stereo equipment. Thought they were only in the car scene. The car stuff is decent modern designs that meet their specs.

Looks like they use installers/integrators as their primary channel for home installations (just like they work through car equipment installers), so probably aimed at high end HT custom installations. Only one dealer online has them advertised World Wide Stereo https://www.worldwidestereo.com/pro...-g4-4-channel-home-theater-amplifier-avalong4

A review in Sound and Vision which seemed to compare it favorably (but not objectively) to Parasound A51+

The ability to configure that amp from 2.0 to 4.0 with a built in crossover and bridging capability seems like a very flexible design for multi-channel set ups.

Not sure how they managed to pack it all in into a 2U height box. This is a huge differentiator against other multi-channel amps that are not Class D.

Wish there were some internal pictures.
