| | SoundStage! Equipment Review - deHavilland Aries GM70 Mono Amplifiers (6/2004) |
 | | This is good news for audiophiles who do not warm up to the sound of horns or single-driver speakers, but bad news for their bank accounts, as many of these higher-power SET amplifiers are also high-priced amps as well. |
 | | DeHavilland has since upgraded that amp to produce 30 watts, and later released the SET Aries GM70 ($7995 USD per pair), which offers even greater power output, a quoted 50 watts into 8 ohms, due to the use of a triode output tube very new to the audio world. |
 | | Regarding the output tube, deHavilland says, "We run the GM70 tube conservatively and would expect 5000 to 8000 hours of service." In the event that you need a replacement, deHavilland sells these for $150 each with a 90-day warranty and stocks the 6AU5 and 12SN7 in quantity as well. |
