Anybody hear Murano ICE amps?

Sold on ebay they obviously have no marketing budge tom get a 8 ohm 250 watt performer at $769.They also make a 600 watt 8ohm and 1000+ amp.Looks like minimalist construction though input is supposed well regarded Swiss make (according to them).Plenty o' slam for the buck but there seesm to be just as much difference in ICE amps as your typical Class AB.Anybody bought them?

ICEPower amp circuits are an integrated component from B&O for OEM amp vendors. THis is a pretty earth-shattering and radical departure from the past in the way that electronic amplifier components are built and distributed by suppliers.

Given the same component circuitry, what is left in building a complete amp from an IcePower module to differentiate one amp from another besides cosmetics? Power supply, perhaps?

Maybe I could buy an ICEPower unit and build my own amp? Maybe someone provides a kit at lower cost? I wonder how hard completing the amp given the ICEPower unit to start with could be.

Something to investigate on a rainy day.......

Kijanki,

Can you describe some of the differences you may have heard? Are they subtle or clearly distinct? Do they share anything in common?

I'm very interested in understanding the major differences in sound out there today with this design.

Have you heard the class D amps from Cary? How do these compare?
