Wyred SX-1000 Mono’s or PS Audio S700 Mono’s?


Has anyone been able to compare these amps to one another? I want to stick with class D for efficiency, so I ruled out the Schit mono’s. Either has a lot more power than I need currently (groan), but this could change. Then there is the PS S300 stereo.

Room: 25 x 25

Currently: Cambridge Azure 840C (transport only); OPPO 105D; MHDT Orchid DAC; Rowland Synergy III preamp; Rowland Model 2 amp (class AB); Gallo Strada 2’s (might replace with 1.7i Maggies); Gallo TR-3D sub.

Music: Jazz, some blues, some rock, some classical.

I heard the PS Audio Stellar amps at RMAF.  They were not actually that bad.  Though, they were powering some Markaudio drivers in cabinets and they tend to be somewhat bright, so I'm not sure how this will sound on a conventional speaker.  The "Class A" input stage on the PS Audio are nice.

Another one you should look into is the ATI AT542NC amps for $2995 (same as PS Audio).  The ATI uses the latest nCore Class D circuit and is also the only nCore amp I know of that uses a full linear power supply.  Everything else I have seen uses switching power supply (including PS Audio).
