By the way, I just ran the numbers on that.
Based on output impedance, and assuming a 1 Ohm speaker impedance the ICEPower 250 A would droop around 2.2 dB at 20 kHz. That’s not unacceptable, and in line of what a tube amp would do to a lot of normal speakers.
Pro: A gentle glare reducing effect.
Con: Removes air, dulls top end.
A bigger concern to me would be the speaker efficiency and output power of the modules used.
Also, one not well known thing about these modules is that their cooling matters a great deal. The power rating increases with better heat sinks. Some manufacturers stick these in sealed speaker cabinets but the power gets derated.
Best,
