EDGE A2-300 - ICE 300ASC module - review
 
A note about icepower ones.
The new Edge models can all work as stereo or mono as is.
There are the ones that one channel has been removed but their operation is identical with the stereo ones playing as mono.

Also,their specs listed are for one channel (so 1200as for example is 1200W either if it is 1200as1 or 1200as2 connected as mono,if 1200as2 is playing stereo is half that or whatever the demands is,ice power states asymmetric impedance between channels as well)

Description on site is misleading but fortunately their data sheets are solid.

Thanks. I'll file that in my brain and keep a lookout for those mono amps.
 
It's a fun exercise. Your listings for Halcro and Panasonic have been out of production for many years.
I assume you are not trying to make this a comprehensive historic list, which would be a challenging research project.
Just going from memory without searching, I can think of scores of Class D amps from the past 20 years. Some are manufacturers that have gone out of business.
Channel Island, Spectron, NuForce, and Edge Audio immediately come to mind. There were dozens of amps built on the old Tripath chips, such as Sonic Impact, 41hZ, and Trends. I can also recall several older models by PS Audio, Sharp, TEAC, BelCanto, and Arcam that are not on your list. And those are just the ones that my ageing memory can retrieve.

My suggestions is to limit this to models currently in production. Or maybe limit it to the previous few years. Otherwise it's going to get unmanageable.

It is a impossible task in that keeping my sanity such that I don't have to research every link. So... I must trust the membership and you may have noticed many of them have good details and those ones have been vetted and that was a big job plus the remainder of them. So I'm keeping it simple and using the easiest method possible. :D
 
Missing Marantzes:
HD-AMP1 (possibly out of production)
PM-KI Ruby (limited edition - still just about available in some countries)
PM-12 (Japan only model similar to Ruby)

Thank you for the details. I will add them later today when I have spare time. :D
 
Nice listing!:cool:
Thank you. There is still much work to be done with the list. With summer it's hard to find the time to construct the list further. There is at least hundreds more to add.

I also have a class D amp which is not listed (one of the two available in the world). Never been available for the commercial market (though as module commercial available). A Mueta power amp, still playing
