Latest ICEpower 1200AS2 based amplifier news / updates / reviews / opinions


Hard to find any current info on the ICEpower 1200AS2 based amplifier / news / updates / reviews / opinions                   It seems the chatter over the 1200AS2 has slowed and was hoping by this time to hear more user input to 
help in the decision making process , as it's time to repower my theaters front mains .
  
Almost pulled the trigger on a ATI  AT543NC , then the ICEpowerd Apollon AS3600 caught my attention .
It gives you  3 x  Icepower 1200AS2 amplifier modules and If only inputs 1 and 3 and 5 are connected then it will work as a true dual mono stereo amplifier delivering 1250Watt @4ohm and 620W @8ohm per channel.
The Apollon seems very tempting . The ATI has nothing but positive feedback , along with being USA made & 7 yr warranty.

The system is used primarily used for movies & concert dvds .

In order to convert 6 channels into two you would need to connect 3 amps in parallel for each speaker and that is dangerous. Amplifier was not designed for that.  Most likely each channel has slightly different gain and phase shift resulting in one amplifier driving another.  They might also become unstable, since each amp has complex multiple feedbacks.  This amp has 6 separate channels (that are not bridgeable) and you cannot really do anything else with them. 
Not converting 6 channels to 2 , using 1 channel from each the 3 separate Icepower 1200AS2 amplifier modules of the Apollon 6 channel amp to power 3 speakers .  From ApolIon ...if it will be used as a 4 channel amplifier then connect the inputs on all four connectors. If only inputs 1 and 3 are connected then it will work as a true dual mono stereo amplifier delivering 1250Watt @4ohm and 620W @8ohm per channel. (The same applies to the 6 channel version )
 

ATI  HYPEX vs   Apollon 1200AS2      Advice / Help .....
I'm not sure if there is any sound difference between true dual mono and stereo, since 1200AS2 power supply is tightly line and load regulated SMPS.
Have a kook at wured4sound, they launched the ST-750LE, receiving a positive review

W4S always brings these concept amps to the trade shows, but never puts them on the website for sale. It's very similar to the car shows with concept cars that never make it to market.

The Wyred for sound ST-750LE is available now.  $1600 with standard wire and posts and $1850 with WBT posts and Kimber wire.  Click on options to configure amp.  Here is the webpage:
