Hello Terry,
This might be duplicate e-mail. So far my ears are happy. W4S claims "tube like sound." A nagging thought of what this amp would sound like with a tube preamp keeps intruding. If my wife doesn't see the credit card statement I might have to indulge this whimsy. Peace, PB- |

The ICE amps are of great interest to this fella!
An M80 mated with that beast should do the trick quite nicely. Very, very interested in this "new" technology. Tube-like sound without all the hassle of tubes. Love the energy efficiency also. Go green and pump out power. Win win. I'm considering the 500 watt myself. Too many cool things on my to-get-list dag nabbit! Check out the Virtue Audio stuff for the bargain versions kids!

I added a SVS-PC12NSD, 350 watt to the system. Yeah there was
more bass, but kinda boomy, and not all that integrated into the overall sound. I recently exchanged the sub for a SVS-PC- Ultra, a 500 watt sub with the extra features of an eq and sub-sonic filter. Prior to it arriving I gave serious consid- eration to admitting I had a problem and enrolling in a 13 step rehab program for impulsive chronic upgraditis. When I plugged in the new new sub this Saturday, OMG, my system sounded terrific. The bass blended perfectly. The overall dynamics were finally over the hurdle. My hurdle has always been that my ear picks up the systems inefficiencies. Not enough, or tight enough, or blended enough bass. Not enough on the high end to give cymbals the shimmer of live music. Not enough detail etc. etc. Finally, the combo of the W4S-STI-1000, M80V2s, and the SVS Ultra, gave my critical mind a rest. End result, the emotional connection of getting into the music. I was ready to pull the trigger on some pricey Salk Speakers, HT2-TL, or HT3, if I didn't clear the hurdle. Not now, with the right electronics the M80V2s can deliver a great 2.1 channel experience.
