Hi guys. I'm new to the world of class d amplifiers. I need a three channel amplifier for my speakers.
My system:
Monoprice HTP-1
Philharmonic BMR towers
I am looking at the following amplifiers:
Audiophonics HPA-400ET
Nord Three 1ET400A 3 Channel Amplifier
Nord Three 1ET400A MKII 3 Channel Amplifier
The Nord MKII is roughly $700 more than the standard Nord. My understanding is the difference is the MKII allows you to choose an op amp and according to Nord "the board in a true triple Mono design incorporated in a single case. Same sound quality as the Mono Blocks."
I'm not sure if it's worth the extra $700 or not. I don't believe in op amp sounds myself, so I'd be paying more for three mono blocks in a case upgrade.
Which would you guys buy of the three? I assume the 1ET400A amplifier would be more than enough to drive the BMR towers. Thanks for any and all feedback!
