I got into contact with Stephen trying to find a second and third mikro for my builds. Obviously he didn't have any available, but when I asked him about doing a limited run of them again this was his response:
Dear Matt,
It is not economical to extrude the aluminium heat sink material for less than 300 pcs.
The die cost is about $2,000. So this must be amortized over the 300 pcs run.
The construction of the MIKRO series was not the best and so this would be improved drastically.
I would upgrade to 100w x 4 at 4 ohm and add in some nicer crossover features.
Estimated cost from Zed would be about $225.00 per amplifier.

Anyone want to jump on board and try to get this done? I love my mikro and will keep looking for thing 2 and thing 3 to add to my collection, but getting the chance to have a limited production run 4ch amp that puts out good power, sounds great, and is tiny AF is something I don't want to miss.
