Hi All,

To echo Jim Brown's cautionary statement about IMD with the RM Italy HLA series amps, there is some good info on Tom Rausch's (W8JI) website concerning the HLA-150. That amp will run up to 150 watts or so, but according to some testing that Rausch did, if you go much over 100 watts, the IMD gets pretty marginal! Presumably the HLA-300 have some similar optimal point below it's maximum capability. Apparently this is not at all uncommon, particularly with 12 V. amps. Even the K3 loses some of it's IMD quality if you go over 100 watts, which you can do somewhat.
