Best ICE-powered amps ?

Hobby, I also like the Theta Citadels a great deal. Do you happen to know what is the technology behind them? The Theta web site is rather vague, stating only that they are based on some enhanced versions of the Dreadnaught modules. They run very cool, almost as if they were digital amps. . . but are they?

Weren't they designed by Charles Hansen of Ayre?

NO! to the best of my knowledge, they were designed by Dan(Dave?) Reich who used to work at Classe for years & years. When at Classe, all of his amps & preamps had model numbers that began with "DR". I heard that there was a falling out between the powers at Classe & Dan/Dave Reich & he joined Theta. This 4-5 years ago.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!

Hansen designed someboday's amps besides his own, didn't he? Maybe he did the Dreadnaughts.

Drubin,
I believe that ALL of Theta's amps were designed by Dan/Dave Reich incl the Dreadnaughts.
Charlie Hansen could have designed somebody else's amps (I knew that he designed many of the Avalon speakers but I didn't know that he free-lanced amp designs...) but they were not Theta's.
