« on: 20 Oct 2008, 02:09 am »
Hey Guys

Looking to buy a stereo ICE or Hypex-based stereo amp or set (2) of monoblocks.  Please shoot me the details if you're looking to sell.

Thanks for looking!

Jim

You should look at the ad for the Murano amps posted here earlier today.  These are also ice power monoblocks and should be similar in sound and function to what you're looking for.

Expanding the search to include Hypex as well as ICE-based amps.

Thanks,

Jim,

Looking for actual amps, or the modules?

Looks like all said and done I am going to have a few extra 200asc modules, same ones that go into the Muranos, PS Audio Trio, Red Dragon Amp-1s, Bel Canto M/S300s...etc.

Sadly the ebay seller dried up, to many modules never sent, or in my case sent 2 months later.

Conversely if you are looking for more power, Marchand has the 1000asp modules.

James

P.S.  NHT Power2 is still on clearance for $499.  Weird design, 1 500asp module inside used solely for power to feed 2 500a modules.  Does 200wpc into a 8ohm load, I had the power5 and it was a solid amp, just to deep for my rack.  Tons of good info on AVS.

Hello Jim,

For ICEpower based we can help. In the 1000 Series I offer stereo, mono,



and integrated versions.



Details:
http://www.audiocraftersguild.com/1000amps/1000amps_index.htm
http://www.audiocraftersguild.com/ACG_1000_series_datasheet.pdf

Unique to Audio Crafters Guild is the 1000 Energy Pack upgrade path



We can custom build for you or I have a couple of units returned from reviewers if you are looking for bargains.

Speaking of reviews here are a couple:
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue37/acg_1000.htm
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue34/audiocrafters.htm

My favorite quote from the PF reviews:
"My current reference amplifier, the Krell KAV-2500 is more of a "reproducer" whereas the ACG is more of a "communicator." Given a choice I would go with the "communicator" every time."

Happy Listening
Norman Tracy

I have a pair of ICE based Acoustic Reality 1000 monos that do 500w @ 8ohms, are in the chrome case, and not really needed anymore with my 101db Emerald Physics speakers. They have never given me any problems, always worked 100% and sound as good as the Bel Canto Ref 1000 my brother has.

PM me if interested or if you want pics, cost, etc.

Wyred4sound might be worth a look. Some ACers are happy using them.

As mentioned above, the 200 wpc NHT Power2 is on clearance for $500 at ListenUp, an authorized dealer with a solid track record.  Buy it via eBay with live.com cashback to save even more.  IcePower modules include one 500ASP for power supply and two 500A.  Long thread on AVS Forum about it, including some comments by an NHT engineer explaining that module configuration.  You can't beat it.

And btw you could use two of them in effect as monoblocks, and see 500W+ each at 4 ohms, as the power supply is the limiting factor (not the modules) when both channels are used.
