Experiences with Ghent Audio ICEpower AS series amps?

I thought I would find several hits searching for Ghent amps featuring the AS series from ICEpower, but to my surprise there weren't much - a couple hits from 2017, and I'm not even sure if the AS series was available then.

Has anybody tried these? How do they compared to other amps you had/tried?

FWIW, I have tubes and also Hypex UcD400 DIY amps, and was considering NCores but found some discussion comparing them and referring to the ICEpower AS as less dry.

Thank you!

Thanks for the input. Interesting that there aren't further comments regarding ICEpower AS series. Did you happen to hear NCores?

I believe Bruno was a co-founder of Purifi, but not sure he left Hypex.
Anyway, Purifi modules seem to be unobtanium now, and from reading around it seems ICEpower AS seems to be better sounding than NCores, especially the 1200AS module. The 700AS and 1200AS have the ICEpower chipset, which Rouge Audio told me was the big deal.
Tempted to try, even if 700W is way more than I need. I wished their smaller modules had the ICEedge chipset.
