I'm very happy that Fosi is raising the bar and wants to break out of the 3255 desktop amplifier quagmire.
Clearly, with these prices, you're entering a completely different league, and the contenders are all fierce. Products at those prices shouldn't have obvious weaknesses or flaws. I'll be following with curiosity, and good luck to Fosi.

The module details will come sooner for sure, I think the estimate price looks more comparable and in line with the stereo amplifier than mono.

Weird, Why would be a classical musician be tasked to design an amplifier case!
He has done good job though.

Heard about these at AXPONA. Nice to see them public with those beautiful enclosures.

Very expensive for 550w mono (if the prices are correct)

Compare to

AUDIOPHONICS AP300-S500NC Power Amplifier NCore NC502MP

The Audiophonics AP300-S500NC is a stereo amplifier based on a Hypex Ncore NC502MP amplifier module. It is ideal for providing a significant power reserve (2x500W @ 4Ω) without sacrificing sound reproduction quality.

V4 on the other hand competes with Topping B200 which has cleaner watts...

good to hear, thanks @Guddu
A touch display in a power amplifier though.... could be a questionable decision. Lets see what it does, i hope it doesnt ruin the party.

I was thinking the same thing, also why would a remote control be necessary for a power amp if it has a 12v trigger?

especially when they are mono....

Wonder what modules will be in them.

 

[YouDontHaveEnoughBass]

Prices and rich features make sense at first glance, anyone with a big enough space to need more than a V3 mono is probably not gonna be that price sensitive and would care more about the thing looking and feeling premium

Here's a few pictures I've seen on posted on Fosi community Facebook:

They also show a prototype streamer, called the DA50 Ultra, but I'm sure that device will have it's own thread soon.

Dubious WAF....

 

[Karmacoma]

The marks on the top make it look a bit too much like a gamer laptop, inspired from car tuning. That's a pity cos otherwise the design is pretty cool. If the performance and price is up, I'm expecting for a more gentrified design.
That said the chinese hifi is moving upmarket at high speed.
Waiting for the price and, of course, an ASR review!

Ps: oh, and couldn't help thinking about the infamous "orange ring"

 

[Pulkass]

I have just bought two V3 mono---the look of the new ones does not appeal to me btw. Car racing ???

 

[Ropeburn]

Wow, quite a bold move. Let's see what becomes of this. They're entering a market segment that's fiercely competitive.

Not a big fan of the aesthetic. Possibly they look better "in the flesh"?

I wonder if the brands we know are very active in Asia
