| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Tube Audio Design 125 Hibachi mono blocks if available would seem to fit your bill and are worth investigating. You might even retain some spare change after selling the Wyred depending. | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps These are the best buy in Class D generally to match to tube pre-amps.They are highly damped and sound best with speakers that benefit from this and a lot of power and currentALso, the small physical size and light weight makes these very practica... | |

| New Album from The Cars "Move Like This" It's on my listen to list but haven't yet.The Cars do not get the level of respect they deserve. They really were a major factor in tilting the rock music landscape in a different direction back in the late 70's and into the 80's, at least in the ... | |
