I'm looking at upping the home stereo game now that I seem to have more time on my hands. I've become a big fan of amps with built in DSP but don't really have room for a couple of 19" rack mount sized amps for a small living room. Has anyone had experience with plate amps as sold by MiniDSP or Dayton ( seems to be a house brand for Parts Express )? Don't need a lot of power so I'm looking at units like this https://www.minidsp.com/products/plate-amplifiers/pwr-ice125. The Parts Express units look a bit more PA box oriented but I'm interested in any other vendors or experience that would indicate changing my plans.

Thanks

I used a different series for my home theater (UCD) but Bruno Putzey is a well respected (by me) class D amp designer.

Powersoft has a really nice range of plate amps with advanced DSP, but they are probably not the cheapest there is.
Several well-respected loudspeaker manufacturers use Powersoft in their active designs.

The hypex stuff is good there re  few studio monitor mkers using them over here.

Speakerpower uses the B & O ICE modules.  One of the best $$$$ esoteric home amp designers, Jeff Rowland (Jeff Rowland Design Group) used ICE modules in some (not all) of his products.  If he says they are good, they are good!
