“April 2011 - Audiopax Maggiore 100 - Eduardo de Lima reports the pending launch of a new series of amplifiers. " The Maggiore 100 makes 100 watts with KT88 and 130 watts with KT120 in single-ended class A1 (all the other SE amplifiers at this power level operate in class A2 over the high power band and I only know 3 of them - the Wavac 833, the Win Analog 833 and the NAT Magma with the Eimac 450 tube).  Maggiore production will be done in Switzerland near Zurich. We are finalizing the amplifiers (several prototypes have been playing for a long time) and will premier them at the Munich hifi show. The new amplifier is based on the M88s but takes some of the original ideas to a new level. I believe it is a much more mature product. I had expected it to be better than the 88s but the extent to which it turned out better has surprised me. It was one case where I had to do a little revision on my theories not because it did not work but because it worked too well."

It looks like it will be using 6 x KT120. I am sure that it will not be LF DSET but a full-ranghe SE, still the OPT might be changed ....
