Mods to Apogee Scintillas?

I have emailed Muralman1 at length and also post on the Apogee board. I thought by trying the Gon I might get a fresh perspective (which I did). Most of the people who are driving the Scintillas are now using the H20 amp which uses the Ice module. This amp is being made by a forum member Henry Ho just for the purpose of driving the most difficult Apogees. He uses Scintillas as his reference and this is the amp that I will most likely buy for this purpose. Muralman1 uses the monoblock version of this amp with amazing results. My Scintillas will be delivered tomorrow so I will be on pins and needles! I plan on visiting Henry in the next two weeks to hear what his amps can do for Scintillas. Bob

Let us know what your opinion is on the H2O's and Henry's Scintillas. I know Muralman1 loves his and I know that he replaced Pass 600 mono's with the H2O monos....but, I am also interested in your opinion.

Congratulations on the new speakers, Bob!

Can you provide a little more information on the H20 amp please? Such as if Henry has a website, and what the cost of the amp is? I was presented with the opportunity to purchase a pair of Apogees over the weekend for a very reasonable price, and have been considering it, but wonder what a good partnering amplification choice would be.

Thank you,
Joe

The mono's are around $3,000 I think? Also, a search at the Apogee forum under (ICE) and or (H20) will turn up info on these new digital amps from conception to finished design.

Buy the way, what Apogee model do you have in mind?

Joe,
the stereo version of the h2o is $2,000. Bob
