Hi wireless,
If the ice power versions of the JR amps were not better than the old, why would they have gone that way?
I had the JR 201 and 501 monos and years ago had time with the Model 6 and 12 monos too. All good amps. Maybe the sound of the 201 and 501 are on the lean side although with great control and definition.
I have never really understood this idea that the treble in these class d amps is off in some way. I have had quite a few ice power type amps and the gains versus very highend amps are astonishing. I could understand if you were a valve or tube fan you may find them dry and lacking rose tinted specs. I guess taste and balance plays a big part in these. Make sure you feed ice power clean power and have good cabling and source. The treble will be fine.
