Those look nice indeed, do you have a picture on how you have them setup now?

How good? how much better?When you come from a nakamichi to these it’s unbelievable how something so much smaller sounds so good!
I didn't like the nakamichi for 1 moment, was getting so much humming, also it was constantly clicking into standby.When you come from a nakamichi to these it’s unbelievable how something so much smaller sounds so good!
Gotta say those are cool amps , pun intended
Thinking out loud here... in preparation for pre/pro thinking of selling (actually its for sale here) the IOTA. Going for 2 amps from nord. 250w 5 channel amp to drive LCR+SS. Then 125w 6 channels for SB+x4 Atmos? speakers are in my sig but they are the KK Quattro + XTZ S2’s for atmos. hows the thinking? Power?
Forgot to add VAT when doing the sums! Doesn’t make sense. I will probably go 5 channel Emo or another IOTA. Ignore above!
If only going 11 channels mate, you may as well look at the 11 channel Emotiva.
90% of the power required is needed for the fronts, they have 3 full powered modules at 300w, the rest of the channels are blades.
I could easily hit references levels with this setup.
I’ve moved to 300w for my whole base layer now and using the blades for atmos (and soon to be wides), I’ve not noticed any difference at all.
Do you know when their summer sale usually starts? I'm considering one or more of the Nord amps atm and would love the higher end ones (not the Nord One NC1200DM Signature! These do show 15% off but would still come in at ~£4K!!) but they are a bit out of reach price wise right now.If you can wait a bit, the last couple of years Nord have had a summer sale and a winter sale with 10% off. I have a 7 channel and 4 channel Nord driving all my speakers. They are the 250w versions and I don't notice any lack of power!
Thanks!Not that I want to add to your decision woes, there is talk that this week, they may drop VAT to 17.5% for approx one month.

the nc500up are not massively far away from the nc1200, and come up occasionally for 1-1.2kDo you know when their summer sale usually starts?

I have the Lyngdorf MP50, Nord 3 channel and Platinum PL100's IIs and I am impressed with the combination - there doesn't seem to be any issues I am aware of - GeorgeI'm beginning to go down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at all of these amp options.
Initially I was thinking of adding a couple of Nord Three MkII 3 channel amps to my Yamaha RX-A3070 but am now thinking I'd be better off spending more on an AV processor (Yamaha CX-A5200?) and perhaps adding a a slightly lower spec multichannel Nord One. I'm thinking I'll gain more in SQ going this route opposed to adding slightly better power amps to my AV receiver?
My system is used for both music and movies (30/70). For reference I'm currently running a Lyngdorf TDA2400 class D power amp for my front speakers (MA Platinum PL200 IIs). I really like the sound of the Lyngdorf with the Platinums - powerful, effortless, smooth dynamic sound but haven't the room or money for lots more TDA 2400s! Does anyone here have experience with both the Hypex amps and Lyngdorfs?
And after writing and reading back the above I'm thinking why change anything?!
Many thanks,
HB

I’m kinda “hazy” in the brain, especially as it’s friday evening & I’ve just enjoyed a Peroni after working in 30+ degrees all day, but I think the new Lyngdorf 8 channel amp uses the Purifi amp modules?The Lyngdorf 3400 didn't measure very well no idea if the SDA/TDA2400 would be the same. I think I read somewhere they are considering purifi soon for their amps. Might be completely wrong. But that would be a step up to what they have now if it's true.

Anyhow, they appear to be the latest benchmark & look to be very nice amps
You'd be looking at £5,500 for 4 x Nord 1ET400A stereo amps to give 8 channels and it would take a lot more space in the rack too. Let me know when you've ordered it Mark and I'll come round for a listen.
