If there’s one thing that astronomers do better than consumer electronics companies (aside from explaining the mysteries of the universe), it’s naming things. Case in point: astronomers build a very large telescope, and what do they call it? The VLT, or Very Large Telescope. See also: the VLA, or Very Large Array. (Although you have to feel a bit bad for the people who work on the VSA.)
Seriously, though: look at the front of your TV or Blu-ray player or amplifier. If you can make a lick of sense out of the seemingly random scattering of alphanumerics screen-printed thereon, you probably designed the thing, and that’s just cheating.
So I have to give props to Colorado vNet for its PMA-100: this “Pretty Massive Amplifier” may not seem so massive at first—it’s only one rack space high and half a rack space wide, after all—but when you compare this puppy to other amps designed for multiroom audio systems, its 100 watts of power is undoubtedly downright Brobdingnagian.
The PMA-100 also features a 12v trigger input and output, and can power up in slow or fast modes with variable delay time from five seconds to five minutes. And of course it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with all of Colorado vNet’s multiroom audio systems.
One can only hope there’s also a BFA-9000 in the works.
