    The main problem with ICEpower is very low input impedance, for best results they require a buffer before the power amplifier. Their response at higher frequencies seems to be load-dependent, at least their old modules had this quirk, which could lead to a "brightish" sound with some speakers.

    I was thinking about ICEpower, but haven't mentioned them for that reason. To be fair I actually haven't heard any of them.

    When you say "Old", what sort of time of release are you referring to?

    I would say ~10 years ago? To be honest, I haven't heard their newest offerings.

    the ones that I found interesting are the ones from Avondale - Would there somebody who I can get advice from to build this.
    The other one I found is the Beta 24 from AMB Laboratories but it looks more complicated.
