Thoughts on PS Audio M700??

[erpauls]

Was wondering if anyone has heard the PSA M700 amplifiers and what your thoughts were on them.

I'd not bother with PS Audio products at all myself (also affectionately known as BS Audio due to grandpa Paul's somewhat silly videos). If they are voiced somehow, what voice do they have? I'd rather see measurements rather than claims...and seems they're somewhat mediocre https://www.stereophile.com/content/ps-audio-stellar-m700-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurements . I'd rather have class D modules from Hypex and Purifi rather than ICE.

Given that this amp had been reviewed by Streophile and ASR with bench test results I would say there are better alternatives that cost much less, without the need to actually "hear" one.

Thank you for such quick responses.
Are there any Hypex or Purifi amps that have loop out also?

What's that and for what purpose?

My preamp does not have a sub out. The loop out from the amplifier would allow me to connect to sub.

Does it have no pre-outs at all?

ps, sorry meant to add you can split the preouts between amp and sub amp....

Edit, missed the loop part.

Parasound 2125 or 2250 are good class A/B options.

For class D on a budget (and if looks arent the be all end all), these Sonamp 2100's for 250 bucks are a steal on ebay. I bought and am using 2 of them myself. They use Hypex UCD low profile amp modules.

You could just use y splitters.
