Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps

"In a very recent 6 moons review, the reviewer had both the latest Bel Canto and Yredforsound on hand to compare."

Bel Canto Evo 200.4 compared came out a number of years ago I believe and may not quite represent the latest and greatest from BC. Also I do not see it on the current BC products list.

Thanks for the correction. I just figured the other two amps were there post other reviews. I was very fortunate the reviewer is a stalwart non-oversampling booster. That is the only way to go to get the best out of ICE amps. Stick a 47 Lab transport on that and hear what I hear.... almost. :D

I believe you'd find a difference in the class D amps and class A or A/B.
I had Krell FPB 600c when i got my 700cx. I also had W4S STI-1000 when i got my JRDG C-500.
The Krell 600c compaired to 700cx differ. The later is darker, smoother. All is changed except for bass which i found same.
The 700cx is less proned to sound grainy or harsh.
The C-500 is also different compaired to STI-1000. It is smoother, has inspite of this, a slightly better depth and resolving power. For STI i would change monoblock fuses for warmer, also PC towards more full weighty sound. Both these amps, IMO, suits best with speakers that is rather full in sound. I would not use them with bright sounding or thin sounding cdp or speakers.
PL 300 sound very good with C-500. PL 300 sounds sharper and little less full sounding with STI. But they are not night and day.

"I would not use them with bright sounding or thin sounding cdp or speakers."

My assessment is good Class D amps like Wyred work quite well with brighter and or smaller or thinner sounding speakers, however the advantages and differences between the Class D and other amps may be less significant in these cases and there are other amps available for reasonable cost that can fit the bill as well.

Its when you are facing the choice between a big heavy, expensive, power guzzling Class A or Class A/B amp in order to optimally drive speakers that are power and current hungry that Class D provides the most clear benefit over other amp types.

Inpieces,

What does the "pc" mean? I did not know how to interpret this abbreviation.

Thanks
