The 8 channel is going to have similar to monoprice's offering it sounds like.Do Buckeye amps have heat sinks?
Good to know! Definitely makes the choice more difficult. Good stuff regardless.The 8 channel is going to have similar to monoprice's offering it sounds like.
The other lower channel counts use the cases as heat sinks.
Same thing with the Nord 8 channel. $1704 USD for an 8 channel with US/CAD support add-on. RCA and XLRAside from the convenience factor of having a single brick handling 8 channels, I'm having a hard time justifying the 8-channel Monolith over 4 separate NC252MP stereo units even with the 5 year Monoprice warranty. Given the recent strength of the US dollar, ordering four units of the Audiophonics MPA-250NC is attractive and far more versatile (mix and match or move around to other parts of the house).... or choosing the Buckeye version with the additional auto on-off features. I'm running the Audiophonics unit right now. My speakers are dead silent. There is no pop on starting/powerup. My ears are happy hearing silent class D amps.

If you're asking if the amplifier will run on all AC voltages, yes it will since it has a switch mode power supply for each two channels.use by 110v ~ 220v voltage ?
Yes, I know that the Hypex NC502MP itself is a Universal voltage, but I don't know if the monoprice will lock M8250x it at 110v only for some reason ?!If you're asking if the amplifier will run on all AC voltages, yes it will since it has a switch mode power supply for each two channels.
No the amp will work with any voltage the boards will work at.Yes, I know that the Hypex NC502MP itself is a Universal voltage, but I don't know if the monoprice will lock M8250x it at 110v only for some reason ?!
Thanks. sound nice.No the amp will work with any voltage the boards will work at.
That is correct; the link is a class A/B amplifier with a standard linear power supply. The transformer is strapped to work for 120V. I don't know about this amplifier specifically, but usually linear supplies are capable of 240V operation with re-strapping the primary windings on the power transformer.Thanks. sound nice.
But a power amp like this, monoprice tells me it's works at 110v only

There's a difference between is what easily done and not....Thanks. sound nice.

That is 8 channels of 502mp that have been upgraded for $3000.
Comparing that to Buckeyes offerings, he would have to get a new custom case to fit 4 502mps for 8 channels and would probably be in the $2100-$2200 price.
Considering monoprice upgraded the heatsinks on these, have a more refined case (with other things to get this to work properly) AND give you a 5 year warranty, the $800 isn't too bad of a price for all of that.
I originally thought the 8x200w amp was going to use 252mp's but it appears from all of their measurements (and saying 502mp on the product page), it uses 502mp's, that makes it a pretty good deal in reality.
How would you compare the 8 ch Buckeye to this Monoprice. Same Hypex cores, less warranty. What features are different? Plus they had 15% off Monoprice this last month brining it down to $1699 which was nice.

Im going same config. 1ET400 for LCR and Hypex 8 ch for rest. Just narrowing it down to who to buy from based on warranty, specs, and priceSeems like no one here has purchased one. The 15% off didn’t apply to the amps. They had (have?) 10% off of these amps though.
In the same price range, im looking at the nord multi channel. I have 11 channels to amplify and want to do 1ET400. Nord offers both amps I want (8 channel hypex and 3 channel purifi) so I’ll likely go with nord, unless we get some reviews on these.
