IN THE SOUND DEMO
AMP A = XTZ Edge A2-300
AMP B = Classe D200.

Did you find a big difference in the performance of both? Worth 10x the price?
I did have an issue with the Freya and the Classe D200 as there was floor noise. With the Edge, I was able to solve that problem by lowering the gain. So the D200 was not performing at its peak. Given it was just for fun, I did not bother using the Modwright instead.

Gear used in testing the XTZ Edge A2
