Kuribo,
I'm a bit confused about your comments.
First, you say Matt Kraemer's comparisons between Pascal and Hypex are not reliable since he is a seller and supposedly he will speak better on the product he's currently offering (Pascal).
BUT, you are considering Dennis Deacon (D-sonic) seller, and Anaview USA Product Manager opinions as reliable when you talk about comparing the old Abletec ALC1000 vs the new Anaview AMS1000 modules.
This reasoning just doesn't make too much sense to me, but there's more:
If you believe that the old Abletec ALC1000 and the new AMS1000 modules have the same or very similar performance, why did you strongly encouraged user Noble100 (Tim) to return or sell his new ALC1000 and get the brand new AMS1000? Again, I see a big contradiction in you communication.
I have to admit than I never compared the Pascal, Abletec, Anaview and Hypex NC400 modules between each other myself. I was able to compare the AMS1000-2600 in D-SONIC M3-600M-A against my old amplifier, an ATI AT1200, and the performance increase was huge, in every respect, IN MY SPECIFIC SYSTEM.
Also, at a store, I compared the AMS1000-2600 modules against a pair of MaIntosh MC601 monobloks, and the Anaview modules were clearly superior in bass performance, and at least equaling the virtues of the huge MC601 monoblocks in other respects.
In the german forums there are several comparisons between the AMS1000-2600 and the Hypex NC400 modules. One very experienced user clearly prefered the Anaview modules in his "high power" inefficient playback chain, praising its dynamics and excellent control over the big speakers. This same user preferred the Hypex NC400 for his other highly efficient small system which he uses for listening at lower levels, and relax after work.
