Hello all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you all for the awesome information and collaboration here.
I'm looking for a new amp for my LR two channel stereo listening. However, the stereo room is also the theater room, so I would like to upgrade with at least the LCR all being the same topology.
After countless reading here, the purifi module, the nc400 diy module, and new nc500 (not the 500mp and not the 502mp) all seem to be great options in a reasonable price range. I'm leaning towards hypex based on costs and options at this point.
While the SINAD of the nc500 is not as well measured as the nc400, the nc500 does measure well and It seems to have an advantage in power.
I've been leaning towards building a 3 nc400 with 3 smps600n400 in a ghentaudio 3 channel chassis, but the 3 nc500 with 3 smps1200n700 from Nord or others (e.g. Apollon) seems very attractive. After all the reading, I have paralysis by analysis. But I like to 'buy once, cry once'. Any additional objective or subjective information to sway one way or another would be appreciated!
I will be driving 3 Danley SH50s with the amp in a soundproofed room. The amp will be in a separate room with about 50 feet of 10ga speaker wire to traverse to the speakers. An old b&k 200.7 is used today for all 7 channels (LCR included).
