I gather from a recent Paul McGowan comment that the M1200 amp’s release is a couple months away. I am super interested in it. To get my superficial questions out of the way, will its case size be the same as the M700’s at 17x3x12"? Will it have a remote? I can wait for the more important specifications, although at 75, @Paul I may not have that much time. 🙂 @badbeef posted pictures of the AN3 assembly area last year, so I am counting on his abilities with Scott’s help to post pre-release photos.

Cases are about 3/4" taller. No remote. ---

Yeah. New SOTA 1200w Ice Powers with mods to their boards approved by them that Darren requested. Plus the AU7 tube front end. Crazy clean slam, plus tube-rolling. What’s not to like? PS Vanes (as in the BHK Pre) installed, but drop some NOS Mullards, Teles or RCAs in there to taste, and…🤯 ---

Yes. It is/has been discussed elsewhere here. Circa $16-20k, An Obsidian Range device, like the TSS. Gobs of tubes. What Darren wants to own whenever BHK is done with it. You can’t rush Genius. ---

I believe Paul is 71, no need to rush things. Plus, I think he is in quite good shape for his age, good clean living and all … 😀 ---

Foley, who only has 1 CD, is 75. He never said anything about Paul’s age. ---

No apologies ever, I was poking fun at Paul’s delay of the AN3 which I wanted to own; but alas, I was not direct in my humor. I am not upset or frustrated with Paul, rather I am a big fan of his and PS Audio. Beef, confession, I have been keeping secret the increase of my CD collection to 2. Hope we can still be friends. 🙂 Chas ---

The big question is whether they can run with the big Infinity (1.6 ohm) or is there no interest here lol More love Denmark ---

Michael According to the spec sheet the answer is no. Minimum impedence for the 1200AS modules is 2.7 ohm. ---

It’s in the same chassis as the M700 except for its height, which has been increased by 1”. So it is taller. There’s a removable panel in the rear for tube access. It’s one of the best sounding amps we’ve ever made regardless of what you need for power - and it has kick ass power. ---

They can hit 2Ω without a problem and lower for tried periods so they might work with the big Infinities, but we haven’t yet tried them to be sure. ---
