Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners PLEASE HELP!!! Amplifier for M80s

Thanks Rick - appreciate the advice and price pointer - i know prices are higher here in Singapore (so 220v power in = can't even carry it over from the US)...

Oh I see, well that won't work then. Still the 3490 for less money and more power is a better deal.

Someone telling me they can get me an NHT Power 2 amplifier for $400 from the US and bring it over - sounds like a much better bet, no?

Nice amp. Not being familiar with you power grid would you have to buy a voltage converter?

Being able to get the Power 2 for $400 (someone offering to bring in from the US) vs. HK 3490 for similar price locally here in Singapore - worth waiting and going for the Power 2?

supposedly has something built in that simply requires a fuse and some 'bridge change', they supply it with those changed over for 220v, so voila, bring it over and works here..

I would go for it then.

Thanks Rick for being so helpful with this, much appreciate it. Power 2 certainly sounds like a much better bet, esp. even dollar.

Your welcome

Here is a link to the AVS NHT thread. Lots of good information in it. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1006934

The P2 and P5 use B/O Ice Power amp modules. Very clean and neutral sound - IE: does not color the sound, which is what I like. The P2 is rated at 200Wpc / 8 Ohm. Not sure what the 4 Ohm rating is. I’ve seen it referenced anywhere from 300W to 500W. All I know for certain, is my P5 and M80’s play together very nicely and there’s no way I can push it to 100% without incurring irreversible hearing loss.

The one downside to these NHT amps is they do not have balanced inputs. Some folks need balanced, but most don’t. I suspect you don’t either.
