It's not cheap to be sure, but I can't think of anything similar for less $ either. One could buy say a Buckeye class D amp and a MiniDSP HSD for comparable capabilities with room correction, DSP, etc and plenty of power on tap. That would cost less. I admit I still like my A/B amps, but will...

With those choices flip a coin, whichever sided it lands on still good to go. Chasing that dragging down a rabbit hole, Is broad with this hobby. Class D amp/amps for surround duty would be a great option.

There's something to be said just for an external/rack amp too. Spec'g cheap class d amps to keep prices down an issue too, killed a sub company called Epik and one other IIRC (Elemental?)

Did you read the article linked in the first post of this thread? The Sony avr just says power consumption, not max, and can exceed 240W.

I've been using Crown amps to power my subs for over a decade. I have both class A/B and class D and both have been flawless since day one. My class D amp was used when I bought it 13 years ago.

Good point of interest in your comments, I've been following PENG a lot on those new Class D amps he loves so much. The specs on them are some of the best I've seem. Also over on ASR site many are big fans of those types of amps. High output to dollar value, I'm just not completely sold yet on...

As much as I love my Parasound 2125v2, my upgrade to the NAD C298 amplifier sounds even better, C298 is the little brother to the NAD M23, Purifi Eigentakt Class D in a mixed use music 2.2/movies 7.4.4 sys source=Apple Music lossless My video:

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.

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

I looked at the amps. Will it be wise to get a 3 channel amp to drive my center channel too?

Wait unitl Monday, 8/12/24 when the new FTC power ratings take effect, then look at their specs again...

I can't get behind spending 1500 for Class D Amp for my home audio, when for the same coin one can get a 200 X 2 Class A/B Amp. Sure one Weighs a lot less than the other and of course A/B Amp power supply isn't as efficient. Who really needs 1200 rms, but then some have 750k speaker's in a 30 x...

The pro audio QSC DCA series of power amps are designed to handle 2 ohm loads, so do the Crown DriveCore series amps. The Crown Class D DriveCore series won't generate much heat. So won't the QSC DCA series which have class AB output circuitry but use a SMPS power supply with cooling fans...

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...

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...

I played with some Denon settings got my sound close to the Arcam, the Denon got HOT... I could fry eggs on it. That is probably why it burned out earlier. I am getting an exrurnal amp.

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!

Yeah those older designed class AB amps on subs just seemed to last forever back in the day

Yeah most people don’t even know JBL AVRs exist. I know more about AVR than the average consumer, and I didn’t even know JBL AVRs existed. :D Like they say - only time will tell all - if these class-D AVRs are any more or less reliable than other AVRs.
