Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review

Mytek's chief designer, Michal Jurewicz, told me. "Hypex [class-D modules] cannot drive it, the amps collapse, but this Brooklyn Amp does it with ease."

Which is pretty interesting, because the closest I could find to their specs is from ICEpower modules. :) 

I've not been able to do comparisons with Hypex vs. ICEpower amps, so I have no idea what this is about. I use both but certainly not with difficult speakers.

If your going to copy and paste something from an article, you shouldn’t do just part of it.
"Duntechs, with their multiple drivers and complicated crossovers, are a very difficult load"
" Hypex [class-D modules] cannot drive it, the amps collapse"
But that’s always been the case with Class-D, get a speaker that has an EPDR load (combined impedance and -phase angle) of <2ohms and they **** themselves. And this kind of this load is in more speakers than what your aware of it’s hardly ever measured or printed.
