Audiophilia has reviewed the Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 monoblock amplifiers ($2,198/pair). These are Class D amps with 300 watts into 8 ohms. Good looking too (photo).
Reviewer Martin Appel loved the affordability and liked the sound. He compared them to his Nuforce 9V2 SE monoblocks:
The differences manifest themselves in the midrange and high frequency performance. The Seymours demonstrated a slightly ‘bigger’ voice consistently than the Nuforce.
In the area of high frequency performance, it’s apparent that the Nuforce has greater air and extension – a little more life and sparkle.
