Seymour AV 200w x 1 Ice Block Amplifier (Black/115v) at Audioholics Store

Intelligent, compact, and efficient. You have not heard your speakers until you have heard the unyielding smoothness of Bang & Olufsen's patented analog ICEpower amplification in the new Ice Blocksâ„¢ from SeymourAV. Much like having a 12-cylinder engine at your command, the revolutionary efficiency of ICEpower technology grants you a tremendous combination of power access and refinement. Audiophiles can finally have their emotional connection to the music without compression and distortion and without having to heat their rooms with the irresponsible waste from common amplifier designs.

Class A amplifiers average around 20 percent efficiency, meaning 80 percent of their power input is lost to heat.Â² Class AB amplifiers average around 50 percent. Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower technology gets the efficiency of a Class D, but with a low distortion modulation and improved MOSFET output stage. With this technology you get world class sonic performance with an efficiency of operation that enables you to enjoy the dynamic benefits of much higher output power capabilities.

Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 500watt Monoblock Amplifier Review
last modified December 31, 1969 06:00

It's not hard to see that I'm impressed with the Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 500watt Monoblock Amplifier. It has plenty of power, great aesthetics, and near perfect functionality. Most of all, they provide esoteric components, looks, and construction at near enthusiast prices. That alone should be a huge selling point for those with smaller wallets but refined tastes. Plus, you'll have an amp that is not only a show piece for the uninitiated but also sports all the "extras" that will impress your esoteric friends. What more could you ask for?
