Other Notes: 

"The First Watt F7 is a low-power Class A stereo amplifier designed by Nelson Pass, celebrated for its minimalist elegance and exceptional resolution. Despite its modest 20W into 8ohms, 30W into 4ohms, the F7 delivers a "tube-like" warmth with precise transparency, revealing subtle details and textures without sounding clinical. Reviewers praise its rapid transient response, lush tonal balance, and effortless three-dimensional soundstage, making it a favorite for high-efficiency speakers and critical listening setups.

Built around a two-stage push-pull JFET/MOSFET design, the F7 boasts a damping factor over 100 for tight control over reactive loads and a frequency response extending to 100kHz. Its slightly warm signature, combined with a hint of second- and third-order harmonics, enhances musicality and depth. Requiring efficient speakers, the amplifier’s quiet operation and refined sonic character make it ideal for audiophiles who prioritize the quality of each watt over sheer power."
