Stumbled on this and was wondering what your guys opinion is? A lot of power for the price but I'm not familiar with this company and how good their amps are.

    Doesn't look too bad. Never heard of them. $2600 introductory price, talk about trying to break into the high end market off the bat!

    Eh. Looks like a lightly modified B&O 1000ASP module. I would start by picking some unmodified modules and if you like the sound, go for that. The modules really are just barely DIY- all you need to add is a case, powercord and some connectors. Those 1000ASP modules are about $500 each, so the question you should ask is whether their mods and a case are worth $1600. From the raw and modified modules I've heard, there really isn't much difference (in raw vs modded) compared to Icepower vs class A/AB.
