Any thoughts in ICE amps?

"H2O amps drive 1-ohm Apogee Scintillas!"

Hello Vladimir,

Do you watch SNL? If so may you remember (about 10 years) ago cat Tootsie - the cat who could drive the car but...not very well.

All The best
Rafael,

P.S. I am not familiar with H20 they could be fantastic amplifiers - just your statement was funny. So what that some amp drives some speakers. The question is "how well"?

Dob,

You're dating yourself - Toonsie was more like circa '91. :)

Dob,

The answer is; very well indeed. Even H2O's entry level Signature 100 stereo amp is stable powering the Apogee's midrange panel (0.3 ohms)- and can effortlessly do so might I add.

Sound quality? Thats as subjective as it gets. Personally, its one of the few ICE amps I've heard that I can live with.It's also one of the few affordable powerhouse amps I've come across that can sound as delicate as an integrated with an extremely simple and small circuit (ala, red wine audio sig 30). As always, this is all my own observation - so take it as such.

I'd recommend H2O Products, but they are disqualified for being relatively large, and quite heavy. Thankfully, there are plenty of slim line ICE options that are suitable for HT use. Wyred4sound, D-Sonic, PS Audio, etc.. etc..

Good luck with the class D hunt Docrobbi

Guys...

It was "Toonces" NOT "Toonsie"!!
