Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

Great article.

Seanheis1, thank you for sharing, very interesting article.  

Anyone considering Class D, should check out Red Dragon Audio.  IMO, their amps offers the best value and aesthetics.

Wow those red dragon amps could launch their open baffle speakers into space.

I bought a set of ICEpower 250's from Parts Express, I traded all my Parasound A23's out after listening.  I couldn't hear a difference and the ICEPower units cost a lot less to run in a smaller space.  I think that spoke well for Parasound AND ICE. :)

If you are interested in buying nCore from Hypex which is also being heavily used you can buy a kit directly from them at their webshop.  The 400 watt model is 650 euro's including everything you need to build a monoblock.

Also, you can buy very nice aluminum cases from Ghent Audio.  Pleasure to deal with them, but don't expect overnight arrivals!

Best,

Erik

The article is about how you can sell same thing for different dollar using different names and marketing strategies. It does not imply that the sound is the same on all described ones. 
I compared Bel Canto vs. Wyred and Bel Canto certainly is winner: Less fatigue, warmer sound and more clear high frequencies, but still uses nearly same 'ingredients' to build.
