Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
If you have the chance you might want to see if you have a dealer nearby for the Legacy Focus SE and the Audio Physics Avanti.  Both attractive speakers with ample bottom end. 
How does ICEpower 1200AS2 compares to Hypex NC500 implementation?
That's my opinion which you asked for.  Not going to engage in another technical facts, theories and a source said discussion.  
How does ICEpower 1200AS2 compares to Hypex NC500 implementation?
Two my ears with my setup the 1200AS wins on the frequency extremes by a small margin and the NCore in the mids.  If you just buy the Ncore from Colin without the upgraded buffer board aren't the prices about the same?  The 1200AS from the descrip...
