I'm not sure if anyone has tried these amps on their passive speakers but they are very nice. I compared them to a number of other amps and the Hypex amp sounded much better. More ambience, detail and they seemed to have an extra octive down over the other amps. The build was one of the UCD400's with the upgrades. The PSU was an old school brute force design. That amp was a friends amp. We haven't tried the Ncores yet but we both would love to hear the difference. Before we do that we wanted to try and build a identical amp but using the Hypex PSU modules to see if that would change the sound at all. My guess is yes in favor of the old school brute force PSU design.
Anyway, I should have that amp built this weekend. I was curious if anyone else has done the same kind of comparison between the Hypex modules and what results they may have found. I should note I compared the amps on 3 different sets of speakers. ProAc's, some super expensive custom near fields and a pair of Tyler D1x's. All the speakers showed the same strengths and weaknesses in each amp.
Let me know if any of you have had any experience with them.
