Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???

@tweak1 - I mentioned the EVS 1200 a few posts back. I started a thread. It's really amazing , but at $2200, it's like stealing.

Are you serious? Do you actually know how much those low priced modules cost? Do you have any idea what the primary market is for these modules? If you thought subs, speaker arrays, and PA amps, you would be correct.

@mitch2 is absolutely correct, who is really stealing from who here?

I say if anyone should be banned, it would be you for grossly misleading members on these forums. Seriously, $2200? Last I saw on HiFi shark, one of Mivera Purepower 1200AS2 sold for $550 (the case, connectors, wires, etc. probably cost more than the module itself).

It's amazing how ignorant and nasty some people act.  The mono IceEdge modules cost almost $500 a pair with shipping and duty.  My chassis and copper and aluminum plates and drilling and front plate engraving cost way over $300.  Then there are expensive Furutech connectors, damping material, copper binding posts, exotic wire, etc. etc.  I have close to $1200 in parts in this amp.  The standard parts cost to retail is 5 times at least....so this would make a $6000 power amp that wholesale would be 60% or $3600.  Then there is the fact that the amp is hand made.  Totally tweaked modules, hand made wires, damping material measured and put on, etc. etc.  No one in the world would do such things (except me).  It is way over 10 hours labor to make one.

What would you charge for $1200 in parts, one year of development and 10 hours of tweaky labor?  Certainly not $2200 ($2134 after paypal fees) and offer a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee including paying for the shipping to the customer.  I certainly am not a good business man.  But I get by.

The best Mivera Purepower amp sold for $1900 with a single stereo stock module.  None of the tweaking and hand made stuff I do. 

Why can't people be nice?  We are better than this.  We can be really beautiful.  Life is a continuous blessing.  I hope you all tune into that channel.  Love and Joy is continuously present.  Please.....take it, feel it and live it.....it is who you are!
