I have a pair of amps each housing two NCORE 400 modules and 1 SMPS600 for biamping...one input will get you two outputs. Everything but the chassis was purchased from Hypex. Only seeking to get out of them what I have invested...~$2700.

Heya-
I was using these to drive Duntech Sovereigns, and I was checking out if they offered the speakers a little more headroom. At lower volumes they sounded unbelievably clear and open but they couldn't drive the Duntechs to greater power and hold up. I've since learned from a fellow Mastering engineer with these speakers that they are power pigs and you can hardly throw enough power at them - he uses a pair of Cello Performance II amps for each speaker which comes out to something like 4800 watts at the impedance the speakers require (between 1 & 3 ohms). They weren't the right match unfortunately.

Thanks jkess,
So did the caps alter the audible performance of the amps, or not, or weren't they effective enough?

Since we didn't do a critical test ABX style, it would be hard to say definitively. Our impression was that add them didn't do a whole lot. The conclusion: That Duntech Sovereigns need big power to reach their full potential and 800 watts is not enough.

You've 'only' got 600W - it's limited by the power supply
Ncores can always be bridged if more power is required 😀
