    Marantz Model 10 Integrated Amp - Purifi Class D Weighs 74lbs!

    Those Crown amps are noisy and don't even come close to the low distortion of a Purifi design. I heard the Crown amps JBL uses in Synthesis and the fan noise was unbearable IF you have the equipment in an acoustically controlled room. I could hear the fans from 10ft away during quiet passages.

    I don’t recall seeing a review, but now that you mention it, Ice is supposed to have some new modules bordering on the Hypex and Purifi standards. Pascal modules are supposed to be very good too, but harder to come by.

    Emotiva XS15 a review

    An amp in a box in a sub could be a heat issue, plus potentially the vibrations I suppose, other than simply price point. I use Crown XLS amps for my diy subs. Otoh the warranty replacement amp I got for my Epik from Epik before they shut down is still doing fine some 10 years down the road.

    I use them for Mains, Center and Surrounds. I will buy more. Just look at the reviews on ASR. Hypex and Purifi Amp Modules own many of the top slots when it comes to their measurements. Yes, they can deliver in all the departments that you would expect a SOTA Amp to deliver in. Upon switching...

    That one will deliver 200 watts to each output all channels driven. Because of the auto transformer the power is the same four or eight ohm load.

    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    As you know, heat is the major cause of circuit failures. Most of the listed JBL AVRs are sold out but AFAIK, there has not been info out about failure of those AVRs so far, and I presume that Harman released more than a few of those AVRs.

    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...

    Sorry if you have been over this 100 times as I haven't seen all the posts, but know you had the outlaws and now have the class D, so any differences worth noting? Or just smaller, cooler and easier to maneuver?

    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...

    Monoblock amplifiers

    I wonder if there are any class D amps that use linear power supplies for that reason? It seems logical to use a switching power supply with a class D amp that uses pulse width modulation. That would yield very good efficiency, but as you mentioned, switching supplies have their limits and...

    Perlisten r7t vs paradigm persona 7 or 9

    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.

I am highly suspect there, but will probably buy class D eventually due...

    Buckeye has a few class D 8 channel amps that are in your ballpark or well over per channel. Outlaw's 7 channel unit falls short but the monoblocks as mentioned would work. Monoprice's 7 channel: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=14566 There's also stuff like this...

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    ...there is some sort of thermal protection built in which limits the output power. And again, for the JBL MA710, the formula looks like this: Class D: 0.125*110 = 13.75 watts / .80 (eff) = 17.19 watts x 7 = 120.32 watts So why did JBL mark the this as a 500 MAX watt device? Does this number...

    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.
