Amplifier for VA Mahlers... IcePower?


Hello,
I am looking to buy a powerful amplifier to drive my Vienna Acoustics Mahlers, plus Oratorio center and two surround. Currently I have a bryston 4bsst but I am thinking to replace it with a 5 channel amp. Anyone tried icepower (1000 watts- 4 Ohms) modules with these speakers?
Budget is 3k and that leads me to used market.
Thanks in advance.

ICEPower has lots of issues that must be dealt with, such as spewing EMI and RFI. Isolation is critical as is power management and ground management. The cheaper implementations are unlikely to be superior to your Bryston. PS Audio has some good stuff and so does Bel Canto. You've got good speakers that demand good amplification.

I agreed that 1000 WPC is reasonable for your speakers, but it may not be for your budget. You'll probably need to cut your power goal in half to stay at that price point.

I've had great luck with the Bel Cantos. Had it to do over again and I'd look more strongly at the Wyred4Sound amps.
Thanks for the decision report.

Class D need quite a bit of burn-in generally, so keep it on all the time and get over one-hundred hours on it before any really critical listening.
