Douglas,
I don't know whether you have good electronic building skills or not. If you don't, there's a guy in Utah, James Monteyn, who has built hundreds of mono-blocks amps using a Hypex nc400 power conversion module and a SMPS600 power supply in each. He charges $1,900 a pair for regular mono builds; he orders the component parts direct from the Hypex store, builds both amps and then charges less than $50 to ship to your address. You have your choice of 2 different cases. He also offers a Hypex stereo amp that uses 2 nc400 modules connected to a single SMPS1200A400 power supply for $1,490 plus shipping.
I originally was going to order a mono pair before deciding to buy a pair of D-Sonic M3-600M monos.
Sorry, I've never auditioned any Hypex amps but all reviews I've read are unanimously very good.
You can learn more about his amp builds at http://jamesromeyn.com/#/home-audio-gear/hypex-ncore-nc400-build-service-on-time-or-free-build/. There's a phone number on the site if you want to discuss before buying. I've talk to him several times and he was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions.
I think he would be a good source for relating how they perform and what amps buyers formerly used and bested. He sells to customers world-wide and I'm fairly certain he has a lot of customer feedback he could relate to you.
