Laxx, the fans are easily replaced. There's a picture a page back from the Head-Fi thread, where the guy swapped them out for quieter (and blingier) LED ones.
One of these just came and went on Agon for $845. Looks like a whole lot of happiness for the money. Anyone know anything about the builder?

Where's Seymour coming up with the extra quoted 100W in output from the same modules, I wonder?
I like D-Sonic, too. Some day I am going to ditch my backbreaker Rotel HT amp for one of their 3*525W + 2*250W builds.
I do feel bad for them. Their US agent is as nice a guy as you could hope to meet and they were really, really good about a resistor issue with the MkIVse that affected me and a few other owners on HF. No fuss, took it straight back and sent me a new one -- and I was the third owner of that particular unit and said so.
This looks like last-minute panic after a few early-production models went up in smoke. The designer was saying on their forum quite recently that it would be passive-cooled only.
