Best ICE-powered amps ?

I´m thinking of building a nice second system around ICE powered amps but haven´t got a clue (and currently not the time) to compare them.

The ones I know and heard good things of are:
- JRDG 501
- Bel Canto e.One Ref. 1000s
- NuForce Ref. 9 SE
- Red Dragon

Which one is the best ? Are there any ICE power experts on agon ?

FrankPiet, it is worth remembering that the top of the line Rowland amps, the 302 stereo and 301 monoblocks are also ICE powered. You may want to look at them as well. The 302 used in particular may not be terribly more expensive than a pair of new Red Dragons.

Hobby, what have you replaced your JRDG 501 monos with?

Hobby, I also like the Theta Citadels a great deal. Do you happen to know what is the technology behind them? The Theta web site is rather vague, stating only that they are based on some enhanced versions of the Dreadnaught modules. They run very cool, almost as if they were digital amps. . . but are they?
