    I love the comment - "One thing I haven’t seen from class D (for mainly academic and amusement) is how they perform on the 1-ohm test. I want to see someone take an ATI class-D amp that weighs 65 lbs and do the 1-ohm test. :D" I think many of the class D amps on the market would fail that test...

    Class D amps have been around a long time. I used them all the time in my cars and trucks. My most recent use of Class D amps were in my 2007 Mustang. Had two Class D amps in that car. They were the original amps that came with the car. Sold that car back in 2017 so 10 year old amps that were...

    Absolutely true! On ASR there are pictures of a serious design fault of improper cooling with the heat sink not properly attached. High end performance class D.

    D@mn you, man. I sold one to another amigo, here, a bit ago. Of the original 5 I had, 4 remain. 2 are not in use, yet, pending my long slow slog to getting Atmos installed, they will be. Of course, if you want to make me an offer I can't resist... ;)

    This AVR has Class D amps, not Class G.

    I’m happy but I know purifi/hypex class d are great choice and better options out there.

    It's mostly because there is not a lot of 200W+ 7 channel amps that aren't Class D. 5 Channel there are are more AB amps out there but 200W or higher are often something you see in a more dedicated 2-channel amp. You'll likely find a lot more 200W A/B monoblocks than you will 7 channel amps...

    A 1 ohm test is not very useful. A speaker that has an impedance as low as 1 ohm at any point is a bad speaker with the crossover in resonance and not fit for use. I know some very expensive speakers do that, but they are not worth 2 cents. In an active speaker an amp will never see a 1 ohm...

    https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-SPA100-D-100-Watt-Class-D-Subwoofer-Plate-Amplifier-300-805 Something like this might work. Mount it in a box and run speaker leads into the old sub. I would not recommend a Willy nilly thing for a main, single use subwoofer. But honestly for what you...

    Maybe go with a purifi or hypex class d. Best current bench measurements. Look at Buckeye, Nord or March.

    As far as modules, Hypex and Purifi are quite popular, some ICEpower are out there, too. There's a so-named thread https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/class-d-amplifiers-101.7355/

    ...are the same thought process except yours are likely Class AB. Apollon, March, Nord, Buckeye (in order of perceived build quality) are all Class D amps. below presents a discussion of Class D by one of our more learned members...

    They however have an attractive particularity. They feature Class D amps which don't heat compared to Class AB amps which fail in a lot of AVRs.

    The Best Amplifier We've Ever Measured? - NAD M23

    Honestly you shouldn't notice a negligible difference but if you're after the last bit of piece of mind, there are several implementations of the Purfi and NCore X modules that meet that need and many at a .much cheaper price.

    RP1600 IS DEAD!!

    It's not that it's class D, it's the quality of the amp. Klipsch subs have somewhat a history of less than reliable amps on subs. However, I'd think you're well within warranty and they should respond with an amp replacement if you contact them. Most sub amps these days will be class D, tho...

    RP1600 IS DEAD!!

    I thought all powered subs have class-D amps? You can always just buy a non-powered sub like the RBH S-12N or S-1212N and use your own class-AB amp and never have to worry about any more dead internal sub amps.

    Which amp would you buy?

    +1 for the ATi Amp, Although all the amps you listed are good choices. You may get Some suggestions for Class D amps. I myself don't care much for Class D amps. Some like Class D amps a lot, To each their own though.
