I was a Hafler dealer back in the day and I'm pretty sure that the DH-220A was the factory "a"ssembled unit and a DH220K was the "k"it. Same amp, but one was in kit form and one was already built. That's the way I remember it anyway.
Hafler 220a
Anyone familiar with this amp? Is this essentially a 220 or really a new model.
I ask for two reasons. I used to own a Hafler DH 200 and liked the sound, so I am thinking of getting another with an eye toward modding in the future. However, and this brings up the second point, I am somewhat skeptical about 'newer' hafler amps. It seems like these are really geared toward a professional setting or even musicians. This worries me because very often the amp sound for a HT and the amp a musician uses at a gig is really a different beast (or so I understand). So I really have no interest in something that is essentially a pretty Peavey, I would be very interested in a version of the original 220.
I checked the forum records and it seems that no one has ever written about this amp before. So hopefully this isn't a dead subject.
