D-Sonic vs Wyred vs ....

Well gent's, during the past week two new amplifiers popped up on the Wyred 4 Sound website. Their in a redesigned chassis that departs from that industrial look and much more attractive. They are both stereo amps employing the latest technology from B&O using their 250ASX2 amps. The amps are the ST-500 MKII and the ST-1000 MKII.
Two 250ASX2 boards are in each amp. This is the same amp that is used in the mono Mamp. The amps did show up at the recent RMAF. Sonically, like the Mamp, they are smoother, richer, much better treble, more refined.

Hi Audiozen, have you had an opportunity to experience these new W4S stereo amps yourself? G.

See my 03-17-14 post above.

Thank you Unsound, having listened to the W4S amps at RMAF 2013, I am unable to even remotely associate "smoother, richer, much better treble, more refined" with what I heard.

The photo's at RMAF of the Wyred 4 Sound setup at the Marriott last October with the Emerald Physics speakers does not look very ideal and its a crap shoot with Class D amps at a high end show since they are more a.c. wall dependent using the outlet as a capacitor bank than a conventional A/AB amp which is why Class D amps will only perform best in your home with a true, straight line dedicated 20 or 30 amp a.c. outlet. During the past fifteen months I've read many post's on threads on a variety of high end sites of philes who own the Mamp from Wyred and they all come away with very similar opinions that its a very rich, warm, organic, smooth sound with a very liquid midrange. The Mamp and the new Wyred ST-500 MKII and the ST-1000 MKII all use the B&O ASX 250-2 amp. This is the exact same power amp that's in Bel Canto's REF 500M which is Bel's best sounding amp which is why it makes sense for Wyred to jump on this puppy and take advantage of it like Bel. Both John Stronczer at Bel and E.J. Sarmento at Wyred have done and excellent job with their extensive in house
upgrades to the input stage's of the ASX amps they are using
which is why the new models from Wyred should be taken very seriously based on the rave reactions to the Wyred Mamp and the Bel Canto REF 500M during the past several years.
