That's about what I expected. I've been trying to figure out why some folks seem so keen on an Elecraft amplifier ... it just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Given the already available amps out there from reputable manufacturers (Acom, THP, etc), I'd be surprised if Elecraft would be able to offer one at a compelling enough price/performance point to generate sufficient sales for a decent return on their investment. Not everyone is going to buy another amp just to have a matching exterior.
