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..

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

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