    Adding an external power amplifier

    Those DCA Series amps don't have a Class D output configuration. The DCA 1222 and the 1622 operate as Class AB, whereas the more powerful amps have a 2-tier Class H output circuitry. Some if not all of these amps were released in 1998 and their circuitry was never modified just as proof of good...

    Which amp would you buy?

    ...because that make them easy to place and disappear and let me focus on the music I am listening to. So yes I missed my Bryston SST and Parasound Halo amp sometimes, and will keep my remaining class AB amps probably forever..., but most of the time I listen to music with those mini class D...

    One point some people make is that class-D amps cannot handle 2-ohms and 1-ohm. It doesn’t matter to most of us because our speakers are usually 4-8 ohms. But what do you think?

    Which amp would you buy?

    @PENG, not knocking Class D amps, many use them in their setups, very happy with the results. Funny you mentioned how easy Class D Amps are for placement, plus weight a lot less. I dropped a class A/B, 5 channel Amp on my right hand few years back, stayed swollen for almost a month.

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    No idea why they did it. Class H amps have had avery checkered history. Not that class D have been smooth going in years past. However, class D amps seem to be at a point where they are reliable.

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    My SuperCube 8000 has a class HD (not sure what that is exactly but it has an "H" so..) and it's been used nearly every day since I bought it in 2013 and have not had a single issue other than the auto on is not very sensitive.

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    I will only use $5,000 Class A/B Amps that weigh 100-Pounds for all my subwoofers. :cool:

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    Def Tech's smaller 8" & 10" models the DN8 & DN10 employ Class D & for whatever reason they went for the less efficient Class H for their larger DN12 & DN15 models, the logic for the switch to Class H was mentioned in this overview/review of the Descend subwoofer series here...

    Definitive Technology Descend DN15 15" Subwoofer Review

    I believe Rythmik also use Class H amps in some of their models that have 600W RMS but the top end HX series are (Hypex module) based with either 800W/900W RMS but I suppose that isn't a very good comparison as Rythmik utilise their highly regarded direct servo-based amp technology compared to...

    Adding an external power amplifier

    I got my Crowns used from a pro-audio marketplace... they were abused for a couple of years, then I bought them... 2x XLS2500 for US$250 each - they have been running flawlessly in my system for about 15 years now. Good quality pro-audio gear can be a recipe for long term peace of mind!

    Sound United has been sold....

    I think the issue (1-2 ohm class-D) was that many people were not aware/seen those ohm measurements. And now that they can see those 2-ohm measurements, they can still say, “Okay, so class-D can handle 2-ohms, but where’s the actual 1-ohm measurements?” :D Does 1-ohm matter? Does 100dB SINAD...

    Sound United has been sold....

    First of all, I must edit my post because it seemed misleading. I meant to say it is a sad truth that many people still think/say/believe class D sounds better than D, all else being equal, while if they don't know what class the amp they are listening to, with that bias removed, the two...

    I run my AVM70 with ATI Class D and Parasound, I can't tell the difference sonically and the ATI is dead quiet and does not get very hot. Doesn't matter which you use.

    Adding an external power amplifier

    I took a look at those QSC amps, Gobs of power! Just a note, was just poking fun at Class D Amp power supply. They've come a long way Class D amps. Your absolutely correct, can't kill them Class D amps. A friend of mine uses Crown amps with his professional D J setup. They sit in his U haul like...

    Adding an external power amplifier

    You have some Serious wattage there! How'd you Integrated those into your system? I mean 1/4 jacks, what did you use or ran for speaker cables? I went back and took a longer look at those amps. Yeah I only saw two of those and they were in a theater. Brother of mine worked as a projectionist.

    My initial impressions switching from Parasound Halo to an ATI AT524nc

    ...While the usual warranty covers a certain length of time because "They either go immediately, or last forever", it would seem that the manufacturers of ClassD amplifiers aren't so confident in the 'last forever' idea. Bryston has offered a 20 year warranty for a long time but they aren't Class D.

    Replacement/Upgrade for Emotiva XPA-11

    Class D seems to be the future. I am hoping Yamaha will also go class D and make a new 16CH class D amp to match their new 16Ch AVP. I know you want some Yamaha's. So don't lie. ;) :D

    Adding a used ATI, Parasound or Anthem amp for LCR....

    What power to weight ratio is meaningful may depend on a lot of things but class d is just not comparable that way generally..
