- Dennis,

- I don't know about the 9180 or 9300, however I built a Hafler DH220 from a
- kit when I was an undergrad. I was pretty happy with it, it sounded
- pretty nice. The only drawbacks I remember was that it ran pretty hot (it
- had MOSFET outputs) and it went through a couple of power switches. On
- the other hand, just for fun I once drove 7 speakers off of it. (two pair
- of normal speakers, and a sub/sat system). It didn't phase it a bit. It
- wasn't _LEFT_ that way for long, my roommates and I just wanted to see if
- it could do it.
