| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed Yes, that is an amp load. Ken Kessler, audio reviewer, has been using them as his reference speakers for many years. It is wonderful there are affordable amps now in the H2O that can fully realize the magic in the Scintilla's ribbons. | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed NO!!!!!!!! Henry Ho lives a continent away. He an I are members of an Apogee user group, and, though we never have met, we consider ourselves friends. So far, the H2O is a one man company. I think Henry was surprised at his amp's instant success, ... | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed There is no link to H2O amps yet, other than an email address. The builder has been finding it hard to find the time necessary to build a web site. I can tell you there are people I know who are selling off Evo, Krell, eAR, Pass, HSA, and Rowland ... | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed Mick, glad you asked. The H2O stereo can power any speaker. I have mine doing wonders for 1 ohm speakers. So far, I have only heard a loaner prototype on dynamic speakers, Green Mountain. It was eery. The H2O provides a huge soundstage - very deep... | |
| SS/Mono Amps Warm,Musical,Detailed The new upstart H2O company makes extremely powerful stereo amps for $3000 and less, that house the same module as the astronomically priced class D Rowland amps. They are as detailed as an amp gets, yet always musical. They are a tad on the warm ... | |
| Best Digital Amps Sorry I came across... cross. I have heard the Tact over and over through many transformations. It is amazing to me the TacT people don't improve their product from the outset. To my ears, the things that produced the most positive differences wer... | |
| Best Digital Amps Kana, that was a prototype we begged for to be passed about to Apogee members despite it being premature. We didn't mean for it's performance to be made public. I'm sure you were told it was a prototype amp. Though it is similar to the production ... | |
| Best Digital Amps Onhy61, I meant my self designation to be taken tongue firmly in cheek. I have no status with the budding H2O company, none at all. I love this amp. I know Henry, and like Loudandclear says, he is a class act. I have had in my possession a traveli... | |
| Best Digital Amps The creator of the H2O is Henry Ho. Henry is a good friend of mine, though we live a continent apart. I had his fine class A monoblocks for a time. Henry tutored me through several component changes. I could say, I am returning the favor as a good... | |
| Best Digital Amps Aloha Kana.... I told you Eldartford..... ;D | |
| Best Digital Amps Eldarford, TacT owners will scold you for that summation. ;) Carver is a long time company with lots of employees. H2O is a start up company that is run solely, with the help of his friends, by the builder, Henry Ho. The H2O is for sale. What make... | |
| Best Digital Amps The H2O site isn't up yet. The site builder is waiting for pictures. The amp builder, Henry Ho, has been too busy with getting amps out to take pictures. As of now, there is only his temporary email address, which you will need to email me for. He... | |
| Best Digital Amps The fellow who started the thread, a long time ago, used the term, "digital," loosely. Generally, the discussion has been about class D amps. The ICE based amps are actually analogue, due to their method of signal modulation. | |
| Comparing digital amps I've jumped the eAR ship to swim in the new H2O. This is a startup company that produces the affordable ICE based amp. The H2O has a robust analogue power supply to match the ICE module's analog modulation. It has 150,000 micro farads of power cap... | |
| Best Digital Amps Boy, have you dredged up an old thread, Zapper. Times have marched on. IMO the greatest digital wreath now goes to the start up company, H2O. The stereo H20 sells for 2k, a reasonable price, considering it's competition. Buyers are jettisoning the... |
