The adage "the first watt is the most important" resonates deeply with the philosophy behind First Watt. Like others have pointed out, exceptional sound at low power is paramount, as it's where we often listen. That's why, starting in 1998 as a personal exploration, First Watt focuses on crafting unique, low-power amplifiers that prioritize sonic purity.
These smaller designs offer distinct advantages over high-power behemoths, allowing us to achieve remarkable quality through simple Class A circuits and minimal or no feedback.
While a universally "perfect" amplifier doesn't exist – every listener and system has unique requirements – the "best" amplifier is ultimately the one that brings you the most joy. First Watt strives to create amplifiers that can be that "best" for those who value nuanced, low-power performance.
