Just another cheezy solid state car amp with a couple of tubes in the
front end.
The website provided no real technical data to convince me otherwise,
anyway.

Here's a 'real' tube type car amp, (which yours truly has built).
transformer coupled in and out, separate dynamotor for each channel's
B+, 6146 outputs.. The solid state is where it belongs - out of sight
under the chassis, in the bias and heater supplies. 

Nothing like the subtle sound of the winding up of the dynamotors,
emanating from the trunk.
