Any one else like the class D ICE power amps?


Category: Amplifiers

Running 1400 watt pioneer sc-09tx & just purchased wyred4sound mini mc-3 (220 (w) at 8ohms per channel)for mains /center. Love the low distoration, clean , crisp sound! JL Audio F-113 subs powered by 5,000 (w) of class d amplification!

I think it is the way of the future reasonably priced, light weight/small/powerful & 85+ efficient.

Jeff Rowland is not the way to go IMO same B&O modules used as wyred4sound at 3-4 times the price! Quaulity is were its needed (in the wyred4sound), not the fanciest cabinet. Jeff Rowland has beatiful jewerly like cabinets but is thousands more per watt. (probably the highest mark-up out their) i loved to open a wyred4sound (hidden gem) & a JR amp up side by side.

Please any Jeff Rowland owners set me straight if their is a difference in the ICE power between the two, last time I checked the mini mc-3 was using the newest ICE modules available. What justifies the thoudands of $ higher price tag? Never got a response to my e-mail to JR??

Class D amps (most of them have arrived) most people think class d stands for digital?? The real reasons is it the next corresponding letter in the alphabet.

ICE power believers tell me what you think.

I've had my W4S ST1000 for nearly 2 years now and, I don't like it - I love it! Brings out the best in cd, digital tv and vinyl.
The most amazing value at $1,999 too, I also have a Bel Canto S300iU which got me wanting more ICEpower, but a pair of BC 1000 mono amps would have been more than twice the cost of my W4S.
I always tell folks on hi-fi forums about W4S, but not many seem to bite, I think they are put off by the Class 'D' for digital misconception - well that's their loss!
I am bringing a line of subwoofers to market and am going to be using ICE Powered Amps.
