I recall seeing that amp at Dayton one year, and knew at least one
person who had one for field testing. Looks like a business decision to
me - plus that was a long time ago, and the state of the solid-state amp
art was a good deal less well along. Presumably modern parts would
dictate a complete internal redesign, which might make it prohibitive
relative to the demand.

Nice looking equipment. I wonder what happened?

Yes, from 2006. Two versions of the amp were on display at Dayton, the
KPA800 and KPA1500. Both were working prototypes and both were putting
out power, the KPA1500 at 1800+ watts continuously into a dummy load, if
I recall properly. Both were things of beauty and planted the Elecraft
seed in my brain that eventually resulted in my having a complete
K-line, minus the KAT500.
