Hi Giovanni

Even if I'd buy the ARC 150.2 I couldn't say how it sounds: I've not your
speakers :wink:

Then listen to Rudolf...Go'n'get it he he....

Tripath chips are all the same (except smaller ones with simplified
internal circuits), they all sound wonderful. What makes (a lot of)
difference is board design, high grade external components choice and
engineers tuning taste with good laboratory instruments.

The only high end engineered Tripath amps are Bel Canto Evo series
(discontinued) and the Audio Research 150-M-150.2-300.2 (still avalaible).
As you see the choice for the best is very easy.

I am in the same situation as your are. (No Swings). Me (No amps). :wink:

All the rest is not for high end or are DIY products, made tweaking
Tripath reference boards with datasheet components like mine at home
(sorry, Signature is in the latter category).

Well at least you regarded that one of your choises, if I understood you correctly?

Last thing, in one previous post you linked an article with a discussion
of class-d amps with Bruno Putzeys (the creator of UCD) and others. You
will see there that the Tripath reference amp considered is the ARC one.

I did not exactly draw that conclusion, maybe I should read it again..
