So the Sonamp 2-100 uses Hypex UCD250LP modules.
I want buy 2 Sabaj A8 (2 icepower 125ASX2 250watt) and put them in bridged Mono. do you think they can sound good?
just bought two Sabaj A8s to be used in BTL configuration to drive my Elac. 2x250watt...Sabaj A8 Icepower 125w*125w power amplifier

Why? according to what principle should a beefy amplifier help low volume listening?Big Quote ..... but if you use a beefy Amp this little "problem" diseappears ....... a lot
I’m listening to the Elacs driven by the PA5 as I type this (streaming some Jazz from my Raspi Pi Zero2 W) and my little system sounds great.For these speakers do you think could be better a 50 watt Topping pa5 amplifier or two 250watt mono blocks 125asx2?
So isn't it true that to make these speakers work well you need an amplifier with many watts? In fact, there are those who argue that with a beefy amplifier these speakers sound better even at low volumes.I’m listening to the Elacs driven by the PA5 as I type this (streaming some Jazz from my Raspi Pi Zero2 W) and my little system sounds great.

I have a Topping PA5 and two Sabaj A8 (250 Watt X channel) are coming. I'll let you know which one sounds better.As I’ve stated multiple times in the Elac thread, a $50 Aiyima 04, 07 or the Topping PA5 (which I have powering mine, currently) will make these speakers sing.
I certainly respect Amir‘s opinion, but I don’t understand why he said this. From my Elac experience over the past three months you really don’t need a beefy McIntosh to appreciate the great sound of the Elacs (though I’m sure that would work.) 30 to 50 watts of clean power works quite well with them.
And sing they do! These are amazing little speakers.
Try an Aiyima and if that doesn’t work, use it with your computer or bedroom. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
If these amps only had a remote..
Go with the Aiyima D03.If these amps only had a remote..
The D03 does not use the TPA3255 but rather the TAS5624, an amp from Texas Instruments TI as well. On the other hand, this chip is from the previous generation of the TPA325x, but works very well if well implemented.Thanks, but I can't find any info about D03 using TPA3255, and no built in SMPS, like A08, A08 would be perfect if it only had a remote, and dual RCA input. For a good DAC and RIAA.
Agreed. Different chip but I’m told great sound. Some, subjectively, are saying it sounds better than an 07.The D03 does not use the TPA3255 but rather the TAS5624, an amp from Texas Instruments TI as well.

Hapo,...this thread really resonates with me as I have a Niles SI 2150 amp inbound and am strongly considering a set of ELAC DBR 62's...
...I am sure I will like them much better than my Energy 2.1e's but then again I have just tried a set of ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0's...
...I literaly heared things I never heared before in new music, and that was amazing at my age, and I hate to give that up, but the aluminum drivers seemed to aggrivate my ears in the voice range...
...I am hoping they have not spoiled me for all other ELACs...
