www.groundsound.com

Some of that stuff looks intresting but unfortunately the price scare's me away

sleek looking units though

I'll agree about the prices. I see a great advantage of www.Hypex.nl here, more watts for the money.

Yeah by a long shot too. That's just class d for you.

Their stuff looks alright.

I like the layout of their site, fairly complete looking product line for what they intend to offer, and I think their "coolkits" are really neat, but it seems like they're trying to attract the non DIYer. If prices were more reasonable I suspect they could do extremely well, but I'd pity whoever works tech support for them. I think it's scary that they don't seem to include the proper heatsink for their kits, but maybe I didn't look close enough.

You don't know the reason why they exsist. They may have developed something for somebody and this is just a side effect. I'll doubt very much that they have developed all their stuff only for the DIY market.

The reason they exist as "www.groundsound.com" is rather obvious I'd have thought.

Yeah.... and?

You think they put those coolkits together for OEM? Nah.

The pcb's look very european and they are handsoldered, at least at the pictures.

classd4sure · 16th May 2006, 12:45 PM

Sorry I edited that silly statement.

How does a PCB look european?

I'll point this out though, if they are a "spin off" project they either don't want or can't share the real name behind it, because google only knows them by that name. Speaking of names, there isn't a single one mentioned on their website at all. Rather a weak position to start from don't you think? Still it "looks" ok.

I think their coolest part by far is their digital x-over.
