Well for a minute, they'll be divided up shortly.

Got a pair of ICEpowered 500w monoblocks last week. I'll post my impressions in the weeks coming. If they're good I'll reveal the name, if not well back they'll go.

Gonna mix up the arrangement in my room; the 20s will remain on the left wall and the Gunned MMGs will occupy the front and center stage. Long over due but they're smaller, more personable and far less domineering, not that this really bother me, just changin' up!

Gonna also pump some serious juice in the G'MMGs for the next few weeks starting with the 1KW Emotiva monoblocks while the 20s will be fed the 1/2Kw monos on the side (separate systems).

Any news about your test of ICEpowered 500w monoblocks?

Just my OPINION but most of the ICE solutions sound pretty much the same with minor variations.
This applies to the amps with PS onboard as much as others. Very little room to 'change' much on the amp, with your main opportunity being the preamp / buffer ahead of things.

I had no long term happiness with my ASP modules GCC250 from PSAudio. Something about the HF eventually got to me. The input was the proprietary 'Gain Cell' module which was billed as 'variable gain'
And believe me when I say I experimented heavily with speaker position and orientation.

My opinion? I think you'd have been VERY pleased with Tim's Parasound JC-1s. But that's just me.
