Anyone heard Nuforce Reference 18's

Vicdamone - Glad you posted. There are other discerning folks out there who I have been in contact with by phone who have also spent the time to dial in these amps and been very satisfied compared to many high rated tube and SS amps. Magnan Audio Cables has two great pages about Nuforce amp tweaks. If you PM I can send to you as the link to page is no longer active.

I started with Adcom amp, then Onkyo Grand Intergra 508, then Aragon 8008BB. Listened to Pass XA 100.5 and several others near time of purchase and started with the V2SE

There's a new Sheriff in town at Nuforce. Its what we all have been hoping for and its now a reality coming out in February-March. The Nuforce Reference 20. 400 watts rms into 8 ohms. The amp will be displayed at CES. Price will be the same as the 18. This amp will go down as one of the finest sounding amps in the world regardless of price. Very few high end amps have a bandwith from 5hz to
120,000 hz as the Nuforce. Nuforce's patented pulse width modulator, which is a true 100% analog device, and their V3 platform topology and advanced circuit design
puts them light years ahead of any manufacturer of class D or similar light weight, high powered amps. The 20 can go head to head with FM Acoustics, Soulutions, Boulder, Vitus, Krell, Luxman and Accuphase. Even your "A" game will be a challenge to beat the Reference 20.

I can hear the cometh of naysayers and sledgehammers.

All Ref 18 owners can also get a FREE upgrade to the 400w board

Disclaimer: I am a NuFORCE dealer but I thought Ref 18 owners might like to know.

Correction update on the Nuforce Reference 20's. Bob in tech support at Nuforce and several dealer's who got email announcement's on the Reference 20's informed me they put out 400 watts rms into 8 ohms. I just received an email from my Nuforce dealer with corrected fact's on the 20's. They put out 260 watts into 8 ohms and 420 watts into 4 ohms and will sell for $9K a pair and start shipping February 15th.
