d-sonic M2-1500M Monoblock Amplifiers - Class D Stars

Dream amplifiers. You know the lot. Big ‘n’ brawny yet delicately nuanced with superb imaging and unlimited horsepower to tame the most unreasonable of loudspeakers. They’re almost mythical creatures with price tags to match. There are those lucky few who can enjoy those pinnacles of state of the art cost-no-object products. And then there are the vast majority who must admire from afar and dream because cost is indeed an object. Is all hope lost for them? Luckily a handful of manufacturers champion the aspirations of the financially challenged and produce at prices mere mortals can enjoy. D-Sonic is one of those and their M2-1500M mono amplifier may have realized your wettest dreams.

The M2-1500M is a small mono amplifier with power output in the realms of audiophile fantasy. How much? The amplifier will pump out 1500 watts into an 8Ω load, 2400 into 4 and deliver 160V and 30A. D-Sonic claims stability into below 2Ω. This is a beast to appeal to those with inefficient speakers who seek total immunity from clipping. The specs sound tantalizing and the price of all this action is a mere $1275 per side. Too good to be true?

D-Sonic is an Internet company from Houston/Texas specializing in class D amplification. The product line covers the gamut from monoblocks to 7-channel amplifiers with a choice of different power ratings for each category, from 250wpc to as high as 1500 on some. A number are based on popular B&O ICEpower but the M2-1500M under review use a different core. This is currently D-Sonic’s top monoblock and despite the modest price the performance aspirations are extremely high. The diminutive little flagship promises enough horsepower to dance with the most difficult partners and was about to meet Apogee’s gnarly full range ribbons. Would it show enough sonic pedigree to make real music? We say hell yeah!

The amplification core of the M2-1500M is not ICEpower. This is relatively new technology that is possibly the best in the world at this time. The combination of sonics, power, build quality and customer values of the supplier make for a solid product. After evaluating seven other class D technologies, developer, Dennis Deacon feels that all but one builder, who they worked with extensively, had a long way to go. d-sonic designed their own input circuitry for this technology and set out to conquer the big power world. We've tested these with some pretty hard to drive speakers and boy, these little monos NEVER ran out of steam. Dynamics in abundance and raw grunt & growl was full and present. Really special tech and a set of amps that for short money, can fit the bill in so many homes.

This particular set are in as-new condition literally like they just came out of the package for the 1st time. Yep, that clean. Original box & packaging too - like we were the 1st person to actually plug these in. No disappointments here, they will rock the house and bring all the meaty muscle of a much bigger, heavier and wildly more expensive set of monos.
