IceEdge 1200AS2 has a lot of phase shift at 20 kHz, almost 70º

And how is that an audible concern exactly?Thats why you use it for bass drivers....

XTZ said that the first batch was small. A bigger one will arrive in April (if its not stuck on Evergreen). As long as they sell out what they can produce I guess there is no need to send one to Amir.Hope Amiram will test soon. They should send him one for testing. If the outcome will be good, they will sell many.

I had the A2-300 earlier which I sold. I felt it was on par with my receiver, a Yamaha RX-A830. The A2-300 required a lot of gain which led to hearable white noise. The A2-400 is a different story, no problem at all to drive my Arendal 1723s towers. I'm able to play louder than I ever would want to.
My A2-400 was built in Thailand. Looks like the A2-300, just bigger and heavier.
Thank you very much but i need to know if i can drive it by using my smsl su-9 and by setting the low gain on A2-400Some new review:
I run it with max gain, that was how it was configured when I unboxed it. No white noice at all. I've connected it to the pre-outs of my receiver RX-A830 with unbalanced pre-outs. I'm very happy with the A2-400.Hi Johannes, can you give us more information? Do you drive it using a dac / preamp or a pure preamp? How is the voltage level entering the Edge? How much is the level of the gain? It is quieter than the A2-300?
Please help us.....
Thank you Johannes, do you know the voltage of preouts of you receiver?I run it with max gain, that was how it was configured when I unboxed it. No white noice at all. I've connected it to the pre-outs of my receiver RX-A830 with unbalanced pre-outs. I'm very happy with the A2-400.
Thank you Johannes, do you know the voltage of preouts of you receiver?
Thank you very much.Not sure, according to the manual these are the values :
PRE OUT (Output level/output impedence): 1V / 1.2k Ohm

Why? I watch most of the audio reviews on youtube and I consider his videos very helpful and informative. He was one of the reasons I bought A2-300 a year ago and I love that amp. Now I'm deciding of I should buy another two A2-300 or one A2-400. Hard choicePlease use the word "review" with caution when linking Andrew Robinson.
