[Elecraft] KPA 500 vs New 1500 watt amp

[Bill Johnson]

Agreed. Would like more photos and detail.  I am in and want to get one once released.  Working on funds to acquire.  This unit fits my needs totally.

Cannot wait to get a look inside....

There IS a handle on the left side (as you look at it).  I don't know if the small feet on the right side are for vertical orientation or to prevent the total blockage of the vents if shoved up next to another K-line product OR the power supply box...

I haven't seen Elecraft's circuitry but with the two output devices, would seem earily similar. The design of the THP output is what sold me on buying it.  Nice and compact but terrible to carry.  I note there are feet on the side which implies handles.  This I haven't seen mentioned.
