I just wish you guys (doubters) could stop in Ohio and hear my completed Legacy system, complete with their new V-series amps. And yes, their class D’s. I replaced a ATI Signature Series , which was a bad’est boy ATI made, with these new V-2 and V-5 Amps. Stunning, especially at over a 100 db with music. (Video Concerts) . I have invited about 8 couples, and a few friends over for evenings... and every single one has left with their jaw on the ground. Its amazing how people that feel quite confident they know a good sounding system. .... walk away dazed with " I’ve never in my life heard anything like THAT " . Couple of them say they hate me as one told his wife, "Get the hammers out, because when I get home, we might as well beat ours’s with hammers and junk them". Don’t get my statement wrong, My system is a peck of sand in the desert compared to others. But I came from a non class D , and love my new Class D’s. They run really cool, even at sustained volumes. Dead Quiet, something my ATI was not. And dynamically are superior to that monstrous beast that took 2 people to move around ...

My Legacy IV-2 for my mains, and IV-5 for my surrounds was the best choice I have made in the last decade. I just ordered two Foundation subs to finish out my project. I’m replacing two 18 inch PSA’s and wondering if the ice amps in them has improved also? I did not order the Ultra’s. What exactly is the deal with them?

Thanks, I was thinking it was a hopped up version. I believe your right on the IV-2, as my dealer said one of the benefits of going IV-2 and IV-5 instead of sending my V-5 back in to be upgraded to a V-7 would be the extra 400 watts to my Focus’s. (600 up to 1000 each). Jealous of your Valors.   LOL ..
BTW I don't know what your using in the back but the Phantom HD's was quite a surprise.. I strongly suggest them. 
And thanks for the heads up on the break in ..

You are soo, right. It never ends. But I’m hooked. Movies are my wife’s deal, but the video concerts, as long as there in 5.1 Dolby or better and recorded in the early 2000’s (or newer), are better than being there. Seriously.... I have yet to have anyone over to watch one of these things that don’t look at you after that first song in utter disbelief. I've had a few over that had absolutely no intentions of listening to anymore than just a sample, only to be glued to there listening position for the entire rest of the concert...
THAT...makes it all worthwhile..
That’s why I can say I USE these amplifiers. They don’t sit there for their looks, or at an idle,,,
