    New AV firm!

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this company, in particular with the quality and the amps

    I've never heard of them, but their amps look most impressive. For a monoblock amp with that much rated RMS power at that price is pretty amazing. The fit and finish quality, fully balanced design, high power output, reasonable price, and a 10 year warranty, makes these amps a serious choice for anyone looking for new amps. Thanks for sharing that.

        I would bet money they use the coldamp modules.

            Darn, if I didn't already have my two 5 channel amps, I would definitely order a pair of their 1,000 watt models. I wonder how good they sound?

              That is what I would like to know!

                Don't really care for class D stuff. I've heard amps based on ICEpower, and I built a Hypex module amp. Haven't heard any coldamp modules though. I do like them for high power applications like a sub, but they just don't sound right to me for music listening. HT might be OK though. Just my opinion. They do look well built.

                  Yes I tried Rotel and was not that impressed either Classé sounded much better.

                    Well Rotel and Classe are not Class D amps. I think both use only class A/B at the moment.

                      Classé uses class A/B, Rotel's new amplifiers are all ICEPower modules (RB-1072/1085/1076/1066/1091/1092).

                        Yes that is correct.

                        Classé amplifier delivering 100W into an 8 load will be operating at about 30W Class A, eliminating any effect of switching distortion normally associated with a Class A/B design. http://www.classeaudio.com/delta/amps-intro.htm
