From the review:

"Pioneer’s second-generation implementation of ICEpower is on a par with the best conventional Class AB, producing excellent sound with far less waste of power."

SC-07 = 1st gen released in 2008
SC-27 = 2nd gen released in 2009
SC-37 = 3rd gen released in 2010

Is the ICEpower implementation identical b/w the SC-07 and SC-27 and the SC-37 is somehow different?

You would think it would be the same but I've read the reviews each year and they seem to pick up 10-15 watts of power in the simultaneous power tests.
