D class amps with Soundlab speakers

Hi: I heard the combo of Soundlab (model U1?) with two Spectron monoblocks with all upgardes and Joule-Electra Marienne-Electra full tube preamp. It was pure heaven. To begin with you got bass !!!! real bass. Did I say you get bass? Then the rest: gorgeous seductive midrange and silky highs. Huge soundstage (which you would get with your speakers anyway to be truthfull) and stunning imaging. Extraodinary detailed and yet "purely analog" sound.
This is one of very few combos equal (or may be even better then mine...). Soundlab (when driven correctly!!!!!) gives you real magic like M-A-G-I-K

"Its not a power issue though- 150 watts is plenty of power if the amplifier can make the power. Its a matter of impedance "

Yep, its better to be rich and healthy then poor and sick.
The problem is that some, just some don't know how to reach there.

IcePower and Soundlabs: Honestly, I am not even sure if these amps are capable to drive these speakers without invoking protection circuitry... Very easy to test; if in the middle of music you will hear silence then yes, its your answer

"I find that class D works a lot better if they aren't being pushed hard."

For most class D amp its true. However, Mark Levinson has huge power supplies. Jeff Rowland has very large, Daniel Weiss amps are very powerful too and my Spectron has 3500 watt peak power (and stable to 0.1 Ohm load)

It has almost nothing to do with output stage (be it class D or other calss) - only one thing is important, the temperature should not raise above safe operatating levels.

The weight of the power supplies is "important" only in linear PSU but in switching like that of Jeff Rowland (not ICE Power, sorry) the weight is low.

Among class D I mentioned above, Mark levinson cost $50k, Weiss $30k, Jeff Rowland $15k and Spectron with all upgardes about $5.5k or in monoblock mode - $11k. You pay for quality...
