well, as the title suggests, i'm looking into building my first amp, and i have a little experience in troubleshooting electronics, so i'm torn between these three
millet hybrid
budget m^3
maxxed pimeta
they'll be paired with HF-1's or sr-225's and a creative x-fi as a source as well as the occasional use off my pioneer dv-45a
mostly i listen to rock/metal, and as for sound, the only combo i can comment on is the sr-225's on a musical fidelity x-can, which to my ears sounded just about right, not overly harsh, not overly bright, but the one thing i didn't enjoy was the noise level, there was always some audible backround hum
my budget is only about 200 bucks, so i know the m3 would be a bit over, but if the cost was worth it, then i'd build it, speaking of which, power will be supplied via a TREAD unless its really a bad idea, or batteries possibly if the pimeta is what i end up building.
i'd like to hear anyones suggestions on what might be the best route for me to go, thanks in advance
