Huge Class A/B versus Class-D shootout tomorrow when Boxem’s ‘Arthur’ (David in this metaphor) takes on `Eversolo’s Goliath!
The Boxem is the orange one, just in case there was any doubt.

Eversolo AMP-F10 has been repaired both channels now working, unfortunately the VU lights don’t, before one illuminated now neither!

So to properly compare the AsciLAB loudspeaker models I needed more power amplifiers.
My amplifier engineer of choice is the excellent Frederic Jacquot of BOXEM.
These beautiful ’copper’ 4216/E2 Arthur Purifi Eigentakt arrives moments ago.

 

[Purité Audio]

Underside, the Arthur is a really substantial bit of kit it is without doubt the best build quality and most reliable of all the amplifiers I have used.

I use Mogami 3103 loudspeaker cable it is solid and I like the name ‘Mogami’.
I couldn’t use Van Damme for obvious reasons!

Did you post this for our Australian members?

I have no idea why the forum software is posting this upside down,

Pretty colour though more rose gold than copper.

BoXem ‘Arthur’s arrive!
Super Fred’s impeccable Purifi Eigentakt ‘Arthur ‘ 4216/E2 ( stereo) amps have arrived.
They alongside AsciLab speakers are the one products that have never been returned once sent out for evaluation.
This one is Black/Black, all the colours
Black
Light grey
Copper and Orange are really smart.
They are compact, understated ,silent and powerful.
The only amp you will ever need.
And the ideal stocking filler with that holiday looming!

The happiest kid on earth...

That looks like a picture of my inner child when I unwrapped my Arthur earlier this year.

 

[Reddoc]

beat me senseless.

It wouldn't matter, if only you kept your hearing!!

Just noticed that Mola Mola (Hypex) have a new 350W monobloc the Ossetra ( sturgeon )
each mono is a cool £8k!
Fred you are going to have to put your prices up!
‘Mola Mola Ossetra Mono Amplifier typical UK retail price (inc VAT): £7,999 each.’
The announcement is on Jason Kennedy’s ‘The Ear’.

Maybe we should start to use fish names?

Well, the modules used are exclusive to Mola-Mola, so at some point they need to recover the development costs. It's obviously a much more expensive solution than sharing these cost amongst dozen of manufacturers.
And the case by itself costs a fortune.

 

[Purité Audio]

I seem to remember the 1200 modules were exclusive for a while…
Keith

 

[boXem]

They were Hypex modules exclusive for Mola-Mola. Now they have Mola-Mola modules exclusive for Mola-Mola. See the trick?
From the discussions I had with them in the past, they had no intention to rebrand these modules, which I think is a pity.

 

[Purité Audio]

Fiendish, I remember later when the N1200 had general release,discussing with Bruno the difficulty of trying to sell a £12k pair of Kalugas (cheaper back then ) when the modules only cost £1200.
