    $6k Mcintosh MX200 11.2CH AV Processor Overpriced?

    ...just power and a six channel wireless amp in the attic. I’ve looked at the NAD M10v2 that can do 4.2 surround with two rea/side wireless speakers but there’s almost no compatible speakers. If they would offer a decent wireless class D monoblock I think a lot of people would adopt it just...

    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

    Monoblock amplifiers

    ...low frequency (where it dropped below 2ohm and then went up like a vertical wall). I'm sorry I never got to try some of the 1-ohm compliant class Ds (like Crown) to see what happened with those; but my Yamaha pro class H's couldn't get best sound from them (the only speakers I've owned they...

    Need passive filter for home speakers

    That is the same outfit as Onkyo.

    What would you do?

    I don’t think you (and most cases) need an external amp. But if you want an amp, I think the ATI AT-1800 class AB 200 WPC series is excellent. Comes with 7YR warranty and has among the best reputations for being awesome. Even the lowly ATI 60 WPC distribution amp passed the 1-ohm torture test...

    Power problem with Def Tech BP9040

    Class D amps have come a long way. Back in 2011 I picked up the whole Polk LSi line. That Polk line had been out for ten years and Polk was running a half price on the whole line. I was going to get their LSi-25 which by the way had a Class D Amp inside. Every Polk member advised against me...

    New Line up of AV Receivers from JBL

    The MA9100 looks like a beast with 9 channels of class D amplification. States 140 watts at eight ohms and 240 W at four ohms, I wonder if that’s across all 9 channels? It also looks like it only has a single subwoofer output, but does come preloaded with Dirac. Really light on details so I...

    Receiver Power Consumption vs Output Power

    No I can't explain why the different types of ratings are being used in manuals or marked on the rear panels (outside of perhaps where required by regulation)....I also wish they'd be more specific about spec conditions. I'd also like to see beefier power supplies in avrs generally. Goes not...

    RBH Sound Impression 85-1 Floor-Standing Loudspeaker Review

    He doesn't care what anyone else thinks. If he uses the speaker, then it's all good. Otherwise, they suck. :D One time he was trying to convince Gene and others that one of his in-ceiling speakers was fantastic - even though Gene has listened to those speakers in the past and thought they were...

    What Did I Build This For?

    ...great precision. According to the spec the inverter is referred to as a switching design. So this means that each inverter has a 380 watt class D amp. That probably accounts for their high efficiency and very good distortion specs. Hopefully I have explained this to all parties...

    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..

    Should I get used receiver or used integrated amp (budget of $200)?

    Same question for the OP - what do you mean by “everything”? I have a small integrated amp hooked up to a tv through the rca outputs and that covers 90% of “everything” I need from that setup. It also has Bluetooth connectivity which covers the other 10% when I want to stream music from my phone...

    Amp power supply problem

    I've been tempted in the past to try some of those cheap Chinese amps. They have all sorts of tube amps/pre-amps and class-D amps available but it's a total "crap shoot". I only use AliExpress for parts that I can't find locally. Some test and repair gear is available too but I would first...

    SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle Review

    I have nothing against SVS. It's just not my style of speaker. I'd likely choose something from Wharfedale instead.

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

    If you have speakers that present a load of 1 or 2 ohms, you need different speakers!

    8 Channel amp for surrounds/heights

    ...in for repair and uncertain outcome there. I've been looking around at 8 channel amps under $2K and have narrowed the choices down to several class D models. In rough order of current preference I'm considering: Buckeye Hypex NC252MP VTV Hypex NC252MP Monoprice M8125x Starke Sound Fiera 8...

    New power amp time

    The Class D Purifi amps is now the way to go. Class D amps are more efficient which means they draw less current than any Class AB amp. Other advantages is that they are also more compact and heat less than any amp with a different output configuration. It's mostly the heat that shortens the...

    Monoblock amplifiers

    Based on bench test results, say total distortions and noise, those Apollon power amps that use the well known class D designs such as Purifi and Hypex modules are among the best. Take a look of the top 10 ever measured by Audiosciencereview.com and you will see that all but one (the...
