Thanks guys
First Tracer thanks for the shoot out tip.Tgrisham-I know Kal Rubinson (Stereophile reviewer Krl or Kr4 hear at 'Gon) uses the 300 for one of his rigs and ref 1000's for his HT's.Me think that the Bel Canto top pre is cool with adjustable gain and laod of front panle.Next Tracer thankls for the shootout tip.And Spiro I would think thateve though this hobby proves money does not mean results the Nuforce verus the Edge given the porice difference well the Edsge should (pardon me) have the edge.And Nuforce is not a full Clkass D but a hybrid.I wonder about the PS stuff an would like to hear it next to Chanell Island if I need power but with my 94db speakers right now I think that the Redwine 30 (or mono 70's) is the best for my current rig based one reviews.6moons gushed and it was the only non-tube unit to get a best of 2006 award.Now will see if the DEQX catches on and trnasitor and tube amps might go the way of the IBM seletrics and we live in a truly digital world.WEith the new Squueexe boes for Internet Radio (Roku tube feeding recievers)and inexpensive HD music servers (with Wifi)like the Olive plus cheap HD's (last check a Terrabyte was less than $500) it is becoming a digital world.

Great to see this post really had some legs.Still haven't made choice but seems like PS,Bel canto and from what i read hear Channel Island might be good switch for me.ut if I saty with high sensitivity I think that what I read from 6moons about the Redwine 30 or 70 mono's would be great.For $1500 more the 30 watt than the mono 70's at twice the price.If I get say a B&W Nautilus or other speaker that really needs the grunt they would be out.But again glad to see this thread has gotten soem liage from folks so you all must be interested and putting "Class D into the serch.Along with possibilities like expensive TacT and much more reasonable DEQX it's very "De Jure"
Cheers

Just read a review at 6moons about a best of 2006 (or was it 2007) that is an Italian T amp manufacturer that has sm,all wood cube with a european roccoco type of cross or fleur or whatever that i find unique but hideous.but it is a quad channle that can be combined to two channel and puts out 120 watts with Battery feed (I think I remeber it being so-like the Redwine).Unfortunately it's not cheap being abouty price of two sets of redwine $3K 70 watt mono's.Also it seems that Larryx7 has come up with product that Vinnie at Redwine stopped making a modded Inpact T.I just wonder if the Trend put's out any more than the 6 eefective watts (after distortion iand other factors taken into conseideration the Impact and other 15 watt T's put out 6 watts meanning you need about about 8ohm's and 100 better 105.Might lite up some Zu speakers or a Klipsch and a very few others but it seems like it's nitch is in Apple Computers and other innexpensive consumer products and real world power is still expensive.Now if hey can make a 100 watts cost $500 with same sonic sttributes veryone talsk about we'd have a party!But I hope that in my main rig be it Class D,AB,A glass or module that I can affoird bedroom system of the Redwine 30 with it;'s own DACT and the modded Olive Muisc servers with HD's (and extra usb or thernet inputs),Wifi etc.Sounds like a nice sounding combo that can beam some tunes to a reciever mudule (maybe it works with Yamaha uits with small D units in them for muisc in the kitchen,bathrrom,or the closet (if you might be in one still).

I think this new Nuforce may really be a step up.I think we are in infancy of chip amps.I am surprised though given what I have read that another digital product hasn't caught fire that being the DEQX processor (I know I am hijacking my thread but it's so old it's growing whiskers).After reading the DEQX pre/pro review at (again) 6moons and hearing hub bub about NHT Xd I am surprise this digital domain fix hasn't gotten more licensing.But for speaker builders like a guy I know who put his own ribbons and Fostex into his own di-pole frames and put subs in floors he got to have x-over completely handled by DEQX which analyzes his room and components (including drives and "cabinet: which in his case is compressed foam) and he ols me it rocks.But then again he got it to do up a pair of $400 Dahlquist to sound almost as good as $10K Infinity MTS's.I think all this chip stuff from amps to room processing will make in 5 years the stereos we use look like Edison cylinder players.
