I'll also give a thumbs up on the Class D amp. I'm using the Cullens Circuits (Wyred4sound) and find it very neutral sounding. So much so that it really picks up the personality of the ARC LS26 preamp, and has the power and head room to make B&W 802D's (bi-amped) really sing. Be prepared for 300-400 hours of break-in time to get the best sound.
verdict on class D amps?
I saw a thread about seymour ice amps.... anyone have any experience with these compared to conventional amps? I was planning on picking up a used pair of bryston 7st or a single 14 st however for similar money (& power) the new ice 50001 is available. In car audio there it doesn't seem like class D is very good except for sub duty. Is the same true for home stuff? Presently I have a adcom GFA5500 which was going to get thrown on rear surrounds & I was going to use parasound HCA1500 on my speakers untill I can afford something newer/better for my old infinity kappa 8.1 speakers
thanks
