I know this is a bit of a silly question, but can you buy these already assembled?

Not from Hypex.

3rd parties will. Look in the Industry Ads section of this forum.

Anyone try NCore's with Salk HT3's?  HT3's are power hungry and I'm interested in if they're able to drive them and, if so, how well they perform.

Not the Salks, but I'm using a pair of NC400 to drive a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-IVs at 80db/1watt/1m.

I'm in a small-ish room of roughly 14' x 16' x 9'. And I haven't felt any need for more power, even in comparision with the amps they replaced, a pair of B&O IcePower 1000ASP amps that are rated 1000w-4ohm.

They are doing the job for me!

Edit: Updated speaker efficiency & room size.

I use mine with Selah Tempestas, around 86db/w/m and 4 ohms. They have tons of power and current drive. I've never come close to distorting the amps. I have no doubt they would push the Salks just fine, and sound great doing so.

"Maxcast" has heard the NC400's on his HT-3's.  See here http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=105310.msg1106110#msg1106110

Just wanted to ask how are these with around 86db sensitivity speaker.....

No problem. 

Did you see this thread?  http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=105310.0

I have 81dB current-hungry speakers and there is no issue, in fact I have stopped using subs for 2-channel due to the incredible bass control of the NCore.

Thanks for the feedback and link to the Salk comments (missed that one).  Looks like I need to try them out with my HT3's

You might post where you're at and maybe someone has a pair that you can try.

What is the input sensitivity of the ncores, I thought it was 26db's, I also have a pair of CI D200's which also have 26db's sensitivity, but with the ncores I have to turn up the volume about 2 db's.

You mean voltage gain. Not input sensitivity. In any case, 2 dB difference is peanuts and one shouldn't worry about it, imho.

The voltage gain for the NCore 400 is indeed 26 dB. This is detailed in their pdf file : http://www.hypex.nl/docs/NC400_datasheet.pdf

See Mike Galusha's response here for a detailed understanding of the difference between input sensitivity and voltage gain:

But to blunt...don't worry...please

Yes, thanks for the link.

[Julf]

And, just to be sure, that means input voltage for full rated output is 2 V.

Any test audio recommend for this amp

I plan to listen at very low level at around 50db at night
