They don't do what the Polk r700s do on those low hits in Sara K Water Falls. Close but not as good.

Another crossover rebuild ahead.

Just got a pair for $990 plus tax. Comparing to Polk R700's

Any chance of getting a couple of Left and Right LFE outputs on a 2 channel setup anytime soon?

They won't get near 20! I owned a pair. They sounded nice, but I'd say 35 was more realistic.

Why do you think they named themselves 'hyp-ex'. Maybe that is short for 'hype exponential'.

Thanks for catching that! Happens when you get old. I fixed it, but can't delete the thread.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more discussion about the new Nalai DIY boards from Hypex which should be rolling out in March 2023. Maybe I missed the threads, but I couldn't find anything. What is the 'word on the street' about these 'too good to be true' sounding boards?

What is the word going around about the new Nalai Hypex amps coming out now for DIY? What I read sounds very interesting for $1200.

I'm one who thinks home theater doesn't require top notch equipment like 2 channel stereo does. With that in mind, I'd advise you take a look at Parasound Zonemaster 2350 or Legacy Audio Powerbloc4. Both use ICEpower 700AS boards.

So you are saying that based on all the data and the price (I can't find them any lower priced) to get something newer. I started getting that feeling but wasn't sure. If they were $400-500, maybe but not $1000 plus! I've heard VTV's quality is pretty low - any truth to that if you know...

I know I'm probably late to the party, but are the ICEpower 700AS1 based amps (like Parasound 2350 and Legacy Powerbloc2) been surpassed by latest designs? Are they a 'waste' of $1200 now?

looks like a hot dog with way too much mustard! If me, I'd definitely opt for the one with the tube input circuitry.

Hello, I just joined and this is my first post. I thought I would reply to this thread since it is raising some same questions I have. First, I own 'old' amps - Threshold S/200, McIntosh MC2105, Parasound Halo A21, and a McIntosh C33 preamp. I have a DIY pair of Criton 2tdx towers which are...
